MEarthPhys (Hons) Geophysics and Meteorology with Professional Placement in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

Extreme weather events like unprecedented heatwaves, wildfires, and catastrophic floods demonstrate climate change's immediate effects on our world. Our groundbreaking research confirms that human-induced climate change has altered both how often and how intensely extreme weather occurs.

Discover Earth's wonders with us - from its molten core to its outer crust, oceans, atmosphere, and all the interconnected systems in between.
Geophysics investigates the intricate relationships between Earth's various systems. Our studies range from the liquid metal in Earth's core to continental drift on the surface. We examine both the deep Earth's composition and the rapidly evolving makeup of our atmosphere.

You'll master core geophysical principles and mathematical methods while gaining insight into atmospheric phenomena and their study techniques.

As a geophysics and meteorology student, you'll apply your expertise to numerous applications.

These include:

analyzing atmospheric structure, thermodynamic changes, precipitation formation, radiation, and air quality
deciphering weather patterns and climate mechanisms
tracking environmental and climatic shifts
detecting pollution in air, water, and subsurface environments
assessing geological properties for engineering projects
developing solutions for carbon sequestration, energy storage, and water management
investigating Earth's deep interior dynamics
exploring planetary formation and evolution
This program connects you with expert faculty across Earth science specialties. Our research-driven, industry-aligned curriculum provides practical knowledge that makes graduates highly competitive.

We emphasize experiential learning to build valuable hands-on skills. Many exercises mirror real-world professional tasks.
