The goal of this program is to extend the knowledge of BSc level students, and to learn about different meteorological phenomena, their driving forces, and to gain knowledge on the state-of-the-art methodology that is used in the practice and also about climate change and its environmental consequences. Students have to learn about the multidisciplinary nature of meteorology and the possible connections with different other scientific fields and sectors.

The Atmospheric Science study program is a study of physics with a special focus on the atmosphere. Our program focuses on research-oriented learning and offers individual specializations. Atmospheric Science is a degree program with fascinating topics: climate, environment, and weather or computer simulations, satellites, physical theory.

The Master's program in Atmospheric and Near Space Sciences offers a modern, complex training for understanding the processes taking place in the Earth’s lower and upper atmosphere-ionosphere under different helio-geophysical conditions, for their modeling and forecasting. students will learn theoretical and observational methods of atmospheric research, data processing, and numerical modeling.

This Master’s degree programme consists solely of a 12-month research project. With several years as a senior meteorologist, you will already have the skills, knowledge and expertise to undertake this stand-alone independent, workplace-based project.

Thinking about studies and a career in climate change, weather predictions or environmental challenges? Our MSc program lets you customize your studies and apply your knowledge in mathematics, physics, and chemistry to understand the atmosphere and the oceans. Through this interdisciplinary program, you will get a broad comprehension of how physical and chemical processes influence the Earth's climate and how we can explain the relationship between human activity and climate change.

The Master of Science program in Environmental Meteorology and Climate Physics is a double degree jointly offered by the University of Trento and the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Upon fulfilment of all the requirements, graduates will obtain two distinct degrees, one from each university. The program courses cover a variety of topics related to atmospheric and climate processes and their connections with environmental systems.

MSc Applied Meteorology and Climatology allows you to develop the knowledge of processes which are key to understanding our interaction with the natural environment. This course trains you to understand, model, and predict atmospheric processes, and manage atmospheric data for various sectors.

The Master of Professional Science (MPS) is an accelerated, graduate degree intended for students who want to generate innovative solutions to the marine, coastal, and climate-related issues (take same courses as PhD and Master of Science / MS students, but instead of research with a faculty member, students do research and projects in the field). Students enrolled in this program are exposed to a unique, multidisciplinary curriculum, including science theory, field and laboratory training, legal and regulatory knowledge, communication and media training, and the development of project management skills, designed to prepare them to address environmental challenges as future global leaders. GRE not required!

The progress of all master's candidates is monitored biannually by the supervisor and the postgraduate coordinator. A candidate's study may be terminated if the progress is unsatisfactory or if the candidate is unable to finish his/her studies during the prescribed period.

This program of study has two possible emphases--one for the professional geologist and the other for the earth science teacher.

Combine the study of meteorology and climate science with management training on our MSc Applied Meteorology and Climate with Management. This course will provide you with the scientific background for improved understanding of meteorology and climate.

The rapid growth of research in atmospheric sciences began in the late 1940s in response to weather forecasting needs and opportunities. While fundamental research to advance weather forecasting abilities continues as a core element, atmospheric sciences now address a broad range of fundamental interest and importance problems.

Through courses in dynamic, synoptic, and physical meteorology, students develop a strong foundation in tropical meteorology, the department’s special field, and are prepared to do professional research in the atmospheric sciences.

The field of atmospheric science covers a wide variety of disciplines involving the physical and chemical properties and processes of the atmosphere. Emerging trends in atmospheric science stress the interactions of the atmosphere with other components (i.e. land, sea ice, ocean) in the total earth system. The UAF Geophysical Institute, the International Arctic Research Center, and other university research institutes support active research programs in high-latitude atmospheric science that include faculty from biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and other departments. Current research by atmospheric sciences focuses on atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemistry, climate modeling, cloud and aerosol physics, mesoscale modeling, numerical weather prediction, and aviation weather, and upper atmosphere (stratosphere and mesosphere). In addition, scientists affiliated with the research institutes conduct research on ocean-atmosphere interactions, dynamic meteorology, micrometeorology and microclimatology, polar meteorology, radiative transfer, cryosphere-atmosphere interactions, and remote sensing. Graduate students are an integral component of this research, both in the experiments in the laboratory and the field as well as in high-performance computing. Research institutes provide excellent environments for research in atmospheric science as well as interdisciplinary research with scientists in other research areas.

The Laurea Magistrale in Atmospheric Science and Technology for Meteorology and Climate (LMAST4MC) is a Master of Science (MSc) degree in the Physics class (LM-17), organized as an international inter-university programme, jointly proposed by the Sapienza University of Rome and University of L’Aquila, with the lessons of the first year in L’Aquila and the second ones in Rome.
