This unique, four-year degree gives you the chance to learn how both the atmosphere and the oceans work and interact. No other UK university offers this subject combination, but the two disciplines are equally important in understanding the Earth's climate system and our impact upon it.
The course is taught jointly by our Environmental Sciences and Mathematics departments, both of which are highly ranked for research - 1st for impact and 7th for quality in the UK respectively - so you'll benefit from our academics' diverse and world-class expertise.
The degree incorporates extensive 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. You'll also study advanced, Masters-level modules in your final year and complete an in-depth research project.

Course programme
The first three years of the programme will follow the same profile as the BSc Meteorology and Oceanography, with the exclusion of the third year research project. In the fourth and final year you will study a range of Master’s level modules, as well as undertaking a substantial piece of independent research in a topic that matches your interests.
Year 1
A series of compulsory modules introduce you to the general scientific principles governing our environment, including Global Environmental Challenges and Understanding the Dynamic Planet. 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 2
As 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
During your third 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 modules relevant to the oceans and/or atmosphere, allowing you to advance your physical/dynamical understanding of the climate system and its variability, and/or to develop skills in atmospheric and/or marine chemistry.
You will also undertake a free choice module from any school across the university, subject to permission. This gives you the opportunity to enhance your scientific skills with business acumen or take a foreign language to improve your international employability.
Year 4
During your final year you will undertake a substantial piece of independent research in a topic that matches your interests. You will also choose from a range of optional advanced modules including Wind Energy Engineering; Wave, Tidal and Hydro Energy Engineering; The Carbon Cycle and Climate Change; Dynamical Oceanography.
