MMet Meteorology and Climate with a Year in Oklahoma

The MMet Meteorology and Climate with a Year in Oklahoma is a master's-level qualification that provides students with the opportunity to study severe weather systems up close. This course is approved by the Royal Meteorological Society and is ideal for someone who is considering a career in climate or meteorological research.

Overview

The course covers all aspects of meteorology and climate, from atmospheric science to oceanography. The first two years are identical to the BSc Meteorology and Climate course, and the third year is spent at the University of Oklahoma, where students study the weather of the US High Plains regions and the methods used to observe and forecast it. In the final year, students carry out an independent research project and can choose from an extended range of options at master's level.

Global Impact

The University of Reading is ranked 4th in the UK for environmental and ethical performance, 3rd in the UK for research power in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, and 10th in the world for Atmospheric Science. The university's climate scientists played a leading role in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, and 100% of students said teaching staff are good at explaining things.

Entry Requirements

• A Level: AAB, including A level Mathematics and Physics
• International Baccalaureate: 34 points overall, including 5 in Maths and 5 in Physics, both at higher level
• BTEC: Not accepted unless studied alongside A level Mathematics
• Extended Project Qualification: Recognized as part of a formal offer

Careers

A degree in Meteorology and Climate will provide students with a range of transferable skills, including teamwork, presenting, computing, data set analysis, numeracy, scientific writing, and the ability to work to deadlines. Graduates can pursue careers as forecasters or research scientists at national organizations, commercial companies, or financial businesses. They can also become broadcast meteorologists or move into careers within environmental and physical sciences or mathematics. Past graduates have gone on to work for employers such as the Met Office, Storm Geomatics, DTN, Fugro, and the civil service.
