Uppsala University, founded in 1477, is the oldest university in Sweden. Today, the university is a leading research institution with a strong commitment to high-quality education and active engagement with society. With a wide range of academic disciplines and research areas, Uppsala University is dedicated to making a positive impact on the world through its research, teaching, and community partnerships. The university's mission is to pursue excellence in research and education while also working collaboratively with others to address the complex challenges facing our society today.

Year 1
The courses you will take in your first year gives you a solid theoretical meteorological background. The first course, Atmospheric Physics, covers the governing principles of motions in the atmosphere, cloud physics and atmospheric thermodynamics. This is followed by courses in Advanced Atmospheric Dynamics in parallel with a course in Climate Variations.

The second semester starts with a course in applied meteorology, for example, Air Pollution and Dispersion, Wind Power Applications, and Societal Applications of Climate Information. In addition, you also study climatology and methods to analyse the climate, as well as a course digging deeper into simulations of the weather and climate.

Year 2
The second year starts with a course in atmospheric turbulence and its importance for local and global weather. It also deals with local circulation, atmospheric convection and effects of terrain on the local meteorology.

You can also take a course in Experimental Boundary-layer Meteorology, to learn practical research-grade field measurements and discussing cutting-edge research.

During this year, you also work on your degree project (usually 5 months full-time, 30 credits). This can be done in one of our research groups, focusing on e.g. boundary-layer meteorology, air-sea interaction, air-water gas exchange or polar meteorology. Another possibility is to seek degree projects outside the university e.g. at a company or governmental agency. It all depends on your own interest and your career plan.

You will need to book the accommodation after you have been accepted.

You can choose to live on campus or off campus in private accommodation.

• Make a booking online after you have been accepted (in this case please let us know your choice when you apply).
• Register when you arrive - its not possible to reserve a room before arriving. You can arrive a few days before and book it
