About the Program
Meteorology is the study of physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere. The bachelor's programme in Environmental Meteorology, which is unique in Germany, combines the foundations of meteorology with a strong focus on environmental aspects and an interdisciplinary education in the areas of environmental science and environmental engineering. The programme explores the conditions and processes in the atmosphere that are caused by human intervention, addressing issues such as urban climate and renewable energies. It focuses on numerical and experimental meteorology in the ground-level atmosphere (atmospheric boundary layer). The degree programme is offered in cooperation with the Technische Universität Braunschweig and the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. All courses (except field internships) take place at Leibniz University Hannover.
