The Atmospheric Sciences are deeply rooted in
physics and closely connected to chemistry, hydrology, oceanography and
geography. Given the enormous influence of the atmosphere on many parts of the Earth system. The Amtospheric Sciences are also an aspect of today's highly topical
environmental research.
The international Master's program M.Sc. Atmospheric and Climate Sciences offers
a wide variety of theoretical and experimental topics and a diverse
range of specialisations within the specific research areas of the institute's research groups.
The study program is built based upon three main elements:
- Basic courses (including two major and several minor courses)
- Specialisation (usually in the scientific area of the Master's thesis)
- Master's thesis (actual research in one of the research groups)
The
two major courses can be chosen from a total of four topics: MT
(Theory), MK (Climate), MG (Boundary Layer) and ME (Experimental
Research), which are directly connected to the research groups fields of interest.
Additionally, there is a range of optional subjects to choose from to
help you shape your individual scientific profile.
