General information about studying Meteorology<\/h3>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]Preliminary courses in math and physics: <\/strong>Meteorology deals with the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere. At some institutes, the bachelor’s degree is offered in combination with geophysics or physics. Even if you didn’t take a math or physics advanced course at school, that shouldn’t put you off. Many universities offer special preliminary courses in mathematics and physics, which can give you a good basis for your studies.<\/p>\n

The studies: <\/strong>Meteorology can be studied as a bachelor’s and master’s degree. The requirement for the master\u2019s degree is a completed bachelor\u2019s degree in meteorology or a related subject.<\/p>\n

The bachelor’s degree is followed by the corresponding master’s degree. Here you can, among other things, focus on a sub-area. There is, for example, atmospheric dynamics, polar meteorology, prognostic modelling.<\/p>\n

The course also includes internships to get to know different measuring devices and weather and climate observation methods, but also excursions to measuring stations.<\/p>\n

Weather and climate observation is based on huge amounts of data collected using various remote sensing methods. From this, time series and diagrams or simulations of climate models are created. Therefore, another important focus in meteorology studies is data processing<\/strong>. You will learn different programming languages such as Python.<\/p>\n

The bachelor’s degree covers a standard period of study of 6 semesters (full-time study). Here you learn the basics of meteorological processes in the atmosphere. An example: The formation of clouds and precipitation and their dynamic interaction.<\/p>\n

Degrees:<\/strong> Degrees are Bachelor of Science and Master of Science.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

Requirements<\/h3>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]General higher education entrance qualification = high school diploma (Abitur). The field of study is free of restrictions on admission, such as special grades needed. At some universities, it is only possible to start your studies in the winter semester, otherwise both in the summer and winter semester is possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” el_class=”border-top-bottom-orange”][vc_column]
