The students of our Master's programme benefit from an exceptionally wide range of research opportunities, providing them with a choice of five research groups covering several fields from theoretical and experimental meteorology. During the Master's degree programme, our students benefit from a number of unique programmes that are offered by the Waves to Weather "Sonderforschungsbereich" (special research group), the Research Training Group, and the nearby Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and Polymers Research.
While our programme for atmospheric physics is internationally recognised for its strong focus on research, the excellent student-to-faculty ratio allows for lectures on a remarkably wide range of topics. These include the fields of atmospheric dynamics, clouds and aerosol, atmospheric chemistry, radiation and modelling in general.
The exact programme content depends on the specialised subjects chosen. Please find more detailed information about the content in our student handbook, which is available below.
