This degree programme is aimed at students who wish to study a physics degree with a significant amount of atmospheric physics. This programme combines the study of physics with an introduction to meteorology. Alongside a thorough grounding in physics, you will learn about atmospheric processes and the techniques used to study: * atmospheric physics * atmospheric dynamics * the physics of climate Physics with Meteorology is presented in conjunction with the School of Geosciences. The key difference with the Physics programme lies in your final year, where you will study specialist meteorology courses along with meteorological projects.
Programme benefits* Successful completion of this degree is recognised by the Royal Meteorological Society as an appropriate and adequate basis for those aspiring to accreditation as Chartered Meteorologists. * The School of Physics and Astronomy has close links with the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, one of the UK's major centres of astronomical research. * The Institute for Astronomy (IfA), one of the School's research institutes, is based at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. * You will be taught by academic staff with links to major research facilities across the world, including CERN, TRIUMF, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and a number of principal astronomy facilities. * This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP).
