Course description
Meteorology stands as a quintessential interdisciplinary course within environmental sciences. The core of this subject is encapsulated in its alternate name: Atmospheric Physics. This field explains atmospheric interactions through physical quantities like pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind, using precise equations. Aspiring meteorologists gain a comprehensive scientific and interdisciplinary foundation, equipping them to tackle significant weather and climate challenges. The systematic methods they learn aren't confined to meteorology alone; these skills are versatile, applicable in fields like banking or management consulting. Alternatively, meteorologists might gather crucial data aboard research aircraft globally, enhancing our grasp of weather and climate dynamics. In the "Master of Science Meteorology" program at Mainz, offered exclusively in English since the winter semester of 2016/17, students—both international and German-speaking—gain a competitive edge in the global job market. This is particularly beneficial as most meteorological literature is in English. During their master's studies, Mainz students benefit from unique programs provided by the special research center "Waves to Weather" and the nearby Max Planck Institutes for Chemistry and Polymer Research. These institutions offer numerous connections with leading universities and research bodies worldwide. Student exchanges are actively promoted and financially supported through various programs, encouraging a global perspective in
