Course summary
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 climatePhysics with Meteorology is presented in conjunction with the School of Geosciences.The key difference with the Physics programme lies in Year 4, where you will study specialist meteorology courses along with meteorological projects.Compared to the BSc, our MPhys Physics with Meteorology programme provides a broader and deeper exposure to the concepts, methods and phenomena of physics. You will also gain experience of research work through an extended project. This provides a foundation for further research studies in physics.
Programme benefitsYou 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. 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. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and the Royal Meteorological Society and fully meets the educational requirements for Chartered Physicist. Take your knowledge further by completing a major research project in Year 5.
