BA/BS in Meteorologie

This bachelor's program approaches meteorology as a branch of physics focused on the atmosphere. It is run by the Institute of Meteorology, part of the Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction excellence cluster, and close cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the German Climate Computing Centre connects students to current research on climate and the environment. The curriculum builds a foundation in mathematics, physics and data processing, with close contact between teaching staff and students. The program offers varied opportunities, including study-abroad or internship placements in countries such as the USA, Australia or China, and its broad training opens a wide range of career fields, from climate and environmental research institutes to weather services, insurance companies, trading firms and satellite-related industries. The degree also qualifies graduates for further study at master's level.
