About the programme

Atmospheric Science (M.Sc.) at Universität Hamburg is a physics degree with a special focus on the atmosphere. It is for you if clouds, thunderstorms and global waves fascinate you, and you want to understand how weather and climate evolve and how to predict their chaotic dynamics. The programme is built on research-oriented learning and lets you specialise. Topics include climate, environment and weather, and you work with computer simulations, satellites and physical theory, with practical uses in climate change, severe weather warnings and renewable energy. You get direct access to research at the Meteorological Institute, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the wider KlimaCampus Hamburg network, and can take courses across the geosciences. The programme is taught in English and lasts four semesters.
