Profile
Our Master’s programme in Climate Physics offers you a unique combination of theoretical courses and practical training in all aspects of the Earth’s climate. You’ll study the physics, dynamics, and chemistry of the atmosphere, oceans, and cryosphere – as well as explore their interactions.The Dutch Master’s Selection Guide (Keuzegids Masters 2017) ranked this programme as the best in the field of Physics in the Netherlands.HIGHLY SKILLED RESEARCHERThe two-year Climate Physics programme trains you to be a highly skilled researcher by focusing on the fundamental physical processes that make up the Earth’s climate system. The complex nature of the work requires advanced mathematical skills right from the start. You will build on this foundation by adding specialised theoretical, observational, and computational knowledge and skills relating to the atmosphere, meteorology, oceans, cryosphere (ice), and biosphere. Moreover, your instructors will encourage you to develop a critical attitude towards your research results and your underlying assumptions.Teaching staffOur teaching staff include leading experts from the five research fields encompassed by the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research Utrecht (IMAU):Ocean Circulation and ClimatePhysical Oceanography of the Coastal ZoneAtmospheric Dynamics and the Hydrological CycleAtmospheric Physics and ChemistryIce and ClimateThe Climate Physics students all know each other, and you have informal contact with the teachers.The programme offers you a great number of courses in different areasCintia Carbajal HenkenGraduate Climate PhysicsPROGRAMME OBJECTIVE The MSc in Climate Physics is a two-year research Master’s programme that provides students with the knowledge and skills to evaluate the fundamental physical processes that regulate the Earth’s climate system, including the dynamics of the planet’s atmosphere, ocean, and climate.
