How do you become a meteorologist?<\/h3>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]As a meteorologist you are a weather scientist or atmospheric researcher, storm chaser or climate observer.<\/p>\n

Do you have a great interest in science and did you enjoy math, physics, computer science and geography courses at school?<\/p>\n

Are you interested in climate, extreme weather events and meteorological observation methods?<\/p>\n

Would you like to get to know the most modern earth exploration methods and learn how to model the atmosphere? Or how weather forecasts are created from huge amounts of data?<\/p>\n

Then studying meteorology is definitely the right thing for you.<\/p>\n

This natural scientific field of study is interesting and diverse, as are the career prospects.<\/p>\n

The meteorology course is also a relatively small course. This enables small learning groups and close supervision by the lecturers.<\/p>\n
