Atmospheric Sciences
1) Study Duration: 4 years
2) Cultivation Mode: 3 years in NUIST Reading Academy and 1 year in UoR, or 4 years in NUIST Reading Academy
3) Intake: September 2019
4) Programme Overview: The programme aims to provide you with a thorough degree level education in environmental physical science with an emphasis on the physics of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. It also aims to provide graduates with sufficient mathematics and physics to pursue a career outside of the specialist areas of meteorology and oceanography.
