Norwich
This unique four-year degree gives you the chance to learn how the atmosphere and the oceans work and interact. No other UK university offers this combination, but the two disciplines are equally important in understanding the Earth’s climate system and our impact upon it. You’ll also have the chance to study abroad at one of our partner universities for a year.
The course is taught jointly by our Environmental Sciences and Mathematics schools, both of which are highly ranked for research – 1st for impact and 7th for quality in the UK respectively (Research Excellence Framework, REF2014) – so you’ll benefit from our academics’ diverse and world-class expertise.
The degree incorporates field courses that will expose you to advanced scientific instruments, compulsory modules that lay the scientific foundations for understanding the environment, and a wide range of optional modules that enable you to focus on different themes.

Course programme
This four-year course follows a similar structure to the MSci Meteorology and Oceanography programme, but with a year spent abroad with one of our university exchange partners. The first year of study comprises compulsory core modules to establish your knowledge on essential topics. You will have the chance to select from optional modules in the second and final year in order to allow you to direct your own studies. Your third year will be spent overseas. In the final year you will also have the opportunity to undertake an independent research project on a subject of your choice.
Year 1A series of compulsory modules introduce you to the general scientific principles governing our environment, including Global Environmental Challenges, Forces of Nature and the Dynamic Earth. Multi-disciplinary modules from the wider Faculty of Science allow you to develop the essential analytical skills you will need during further years – including Maths for Scientists and Field Skills.
Year 2As the course progresses you will undertake a range of compulsory scientific modules, including Meteorology and Waves, and Tides and Shallow Water Processes. Mathematics for Scientists continues to develop your capacity for mathematical theory. You will also have the option to take a Meteorological Field Course in the Lake District.
Year 3 (Year Abroad)After maintaining a good standard of academic performance during your first two years, you will spend your third year studying abroad at one of university exchange partners. We take into account your field of interest and placement preferences, and do our best to place you at the university of your choice. See the “Study Abroad” section below for more details.
Year 4During your final year of study you will undertake an individual research project, allowing you to investigate a specialist area in professional depth. You also choose from a range of advanced modules relevant to the oceans and/or atmosphere, allowing you to advance your physical/dynamical understanding of the climate system and its variability, and to develop skills in atmospheric and/or marine chemistry.
