MSc Applied Meteorology and Climatology allows you to develop the knowledge of processes which are key to understanding our interaction with the natural environment. This course trains you to understand, model, and predict atmospheric processes, and manage atmospheric data for various sectors.

The ‘Atmospheric Physics, Meteorology and Climatology’ program leads students to acquire knowledge and skills in the field of atmospheric properties and the related processes. Within the framework of Charles University, this program is unique in its comprehensive view of the Earth's atmosphere as a dynamic system in a broad interdisciplinary context. Even within the Czech Republic, this is the only program providing full-scale education in the field of atmospheric physics, meteorology, and climatology. The program follows from the bachelor's study of physics, in which students acquire the necessary knowledge of basic physical principles (mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and others) as well as proficiency in related mathematical methods. The elements of the study program are primarily focused on acquiring theoretical knowledge in the field of atmospheric physics (hydrodynamics and atmospheric thermodynamics), thus extending previously acquired expertise in this field. Furthermore, skills necessary for practical as well as scientific activities in the field of atmospheric physics are acquired during the study, especially in the field of numerical mathematics, mathematical statistics, data processing, and visualization. Part of the course aims to prepare graduates for basic applications of atmospheric physics, such as weather forecasting, air pollution analysis, and climate research (including modeling and research of higher atmospheric layers). Other subjects of the program serve to deepen the student's focus in particular specialized topics or to expand knowledge in areas close to other physical disciplines (e.g., electrical, optical, and acoustic phenomena in the atmosphere or the oceans). As a part of the study, a master-level diploma thesis is prepared and submitted, in which the application of competencies acquired during the study is demonstrated, as well as the ability to cooperate in solving the assigned scientific problem.

Chart a new course forward for the planet. Climate change and environmental threats are reshaping our world, with profound consequences for economic well-being, migration, health, conflict, and environmental justice. This program’s human-focused approach emphasizes understanding the causes and effects of climate change and developing strategies to limit the impacts.

The Master in Science of Climate provides a solid theoretical and practical knowledge about Earth's climate system, creating a high-level and multidisciplinary scientific profile. The main employment opportunities for the Science of Climate graduate will be in a national and international context in research institutes, universities, service organizations, and companies whose activities focus on topics such as climate change, environmental sustainability, energy transition, and environmental protection.

The Joint Master in EU Trade & Climate Diplomacy (EUDIPLO) is offered by CIFE in Berlin and Nice and the School of Government at LUISS Guido Carli in Rome. The EUDIPLO Master provides analytical and negotiation skills through evidence-based studies and practical project work in the three major topics of the programme: Sustainability & Climate, Trade & Investment, Digital Cooperation.

Do you want to contribute to a climate-proof society through sustainable water management? The two-year Water Management for Climate Adaptation Master’s programme will give you an in-depth understanding of the relevant natural processes and the state of the art of water management.

The MSc Energy Business & Climate Strategy (MEBCS) program at GEM addresses the pressing issues of sustainable development, energy, and the natural environment, preparing students to drive transition in the energy system, from the supply side to the demand side and its governance.

The Master of Science in Urban Design and Climate Resilience is a two-year full-time Level 9 professional degree programme. It is an intensive and dynamic programme and prepares you for the range of professional activities in Urban Design, Sustainability and Climate Resilience. The MSc UDCR programme is situated in The School of Architecture and Product Design and, like the other programmes in the School, the Design Studio is at the core of the teaching methodology.

Increased demand for energy. Growing interest in efficient, renewable sources. Heightened awareness of climate change. You can help manage this delicate balance between the changing environment and an energy-dependent society.

Our MSc in Climate Change Science and Policy provides you with a solid grounding in climate change science, alongside a critical understanding of the context for action on climate change. The programme is designed for students with a background in science (through their previous undergraduate and/or work experience), and includes hands-on quantitative training with climate models and climate data.

The master's degree in Meteorology and Climate Sciences is mainly aimed at students with special interest in understanding the atmosphere and climate, with particular sensitivity to the challenges involved in improving the representation of observations, the modelling of physical processes that occur in the atmosphere, and the understanding of climate change and its projection according to different socioeconomic situations.

The orientation of this Degree is double, investigative and professional. A professional orientation linked to the interest and commitment of numerous companies in the sector, and a research orientation linked to the existence of a doctorate in Renewable Energies and Energy Sustainability, unique in the Galician University System.

The International Master in Soils and Global Change (IMSOGLO) educates this next generation of soil scientists who have the knowledge and skills to characterize soils, and understand soil evolution in an ecosystem context under global change based on a deep insight into the underlying processes and interactions, and develop strategies to implement climate-smart soil management policies.
