Program description
The MSc program in Atmospheric Science familiarizes you with the physics of the atmosphere across all scales from weather to climate and from turbulence to global waves. You will get a holistic picture of the atmosphere as an essential part of the Earth system. Atmospheric Science aims at understanding the atmosphere to make its evolution predictable. Following this ambition, you will have the opportunity to explore a great variety of methodological approaches from numerical modelling, data analysis by artificial intelligence, physical theories to lab and field experiments. Hamburg has a long-standing track record in excellent research in meteorology and climate science. Anthropogenic climate warming was detected here for the first time by Prof. Klaus Hasselmann, who received the Nobel Prize in 2021. Today, it has established the KlimaCampus Hamburg, a unique network of university partners and external research institutions, like the internationally renowned Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, or the German Climate Computation Center. This vibrant research environment offers many opportunities to join research groups as student assistants, for cooperative master thesis projects, and for interdisciplinary studies.
