Students taking the PhD with Integrated Study in Atmospheric Sciences and Air Pollution take 120 credits of modules, selected from a wide range including:

• Research Methods (10 credits; core module)
• Causes and Effects of Air Pollution (20 credits)
• Physical Climataology and Climate Change (10 credits)
• Air Pollution Chemistry (20 credits)
• Theoretical Meteorology: Atmospheric Composition & Physics (20 credits)
