MA/MS in Meteorology

The Master's programme in Meteorology deepens knowledge of the physics of the atmosphere and the methods used to study it. Meteorology is a branch of physics that examines atmospheric processes relevant to weather and climate, and it draws on fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer. The course is a single-subject degree taught mainly in English. Students can specialise through a broad range of elective lectures linked to research at the Meteorological Institute in Munich and to the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen. Module catalogues are published for both the winter and the summer start. Admission requires an aptitude procedure.
