The degree programme is designed to provide an insight into how the atmosphere and oceans work and interact. This approach gives students a detailed understanding of the Earth's climate system. Because the degree programme is taught within the School of Environmental Sciences the student will have an opportunity to choose from a range of course options, enabling either a wide portfolio or specialisation. The course also considers the impact of human society on the atmospheric and oceanic systems. The Meteorology and Oceanography programme uses mathematical techniques as the main tool of investigation and the students receive teaching and support from the School of Mathematics at UEA. Two week-long fieldcourses in Oceanography and Meteorology provide all students with valuable hands-on experience designing experiments and working with scientific instrumentation.
