Content and requirements
The aim of the studies of Meteorology and Geophysics is to equip students with academic core competence and theoretically sound problem solving competence in the field of Meteorology and Geophysics. The studies impart
- Basic knowledge in Mathematics and Physics
- Research methods in theory and praxis.
- Natural scientific and interdisciplinary way of thinking.
- Applying modern information technologies.
- Basic data processing and scientific measurement in field and lab.
Graduates are able to use their skills not only in their field but also in other jobs related to physics or natural sciences.
Intellectual requirements for these studies are:
- Ability to think in a logic-analytic way
- Interest in advanced mathematics and physics.
Student mobility
Erasmus+ aims to enhance students' mobility in Europe and enables visiting universities abroad in order to attend study programmes for one or two terms.
Applications have to be submitted at the Erasmus office.
The department holds cooperation agreements with the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and the Etvös Lórand University in Budapest. Students interested in studying abroad should contact the department's Erasmus coordinator, Prof. Haimberger.
