Climate and Atmospheric Science University of Leeds

Climate change can be seen affecting almost every part of the world, with weather unpredictability being one of the most obvious signs - especially in recent years. This is why experts in atmospheric science and climate are highly sought after by governments and organisations to address the climate crisis and, essentially, provide predictions and solutions for the future.

Our Climate and Atmospheric Science Masters by Research degree will prepare you in the physical sciences and mathematics for a research career in climate, atmospheric or environmental sciences. It ideally bridges the gap between undergraduate studies in physical/natural sciences and engineering and study for a PhD or a career in research.

You'll gain a broad overview of physical problems in climate and atmospheric science, together with a sound physical understanding of natural processes. Alongside this, develop highly transferable skills to conduct research in these subjects with a strong emphasis on quantitative data analysis and physical and numerical modelling.

You'll study in our School of Earth and Environment which is home to a number of research centres and a wealth of expert academics and researchers who are actively involved in developing groundbreaking research in critical areas of climate and atmospheric science. This means you'll be learning the most up-to-date topics from leaders in industry, equipping you with the skills and knowledge you'll need to take your next steps in your career.
