Building on the broad scientific expertise at the Department of Meteorology, these two years of full time studies (120 credits) offer you an opportunity to specialise in disciplines such as classical dynamical meteorology, atmospheric physics, atmospheric chemistry, environmental research and oceanography. You can choose to study with a general focus or with a focus on weather forecasting.

Following the close connection between research and education at Stockholm University, our teaching staff at MISU are all researchers within their respective fields.

Master's programme in Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography and Climate Physics - general focus

Master's programme in Atmospheric Sciences, Oceanography and Climate Physics - focus on weather forecasting

The Department of Meteorology offers PhD studies in a wide range of subjects within atmospheric and oceanographic studies, e.g. dynamical meteorology, physical oceanography, chemical meteorology and atmospheric physics.

Doctoral studies are full-time studies during four years that may be extended with up to one year by working for the department; this includes job assignments such as for example teaching.
