Our postgraduate Meteorology programmes are not offered in 2026. We anticipate that the next intake will be in 2027.
Get professional training in Meteorology and explore the fundamental concepts of dynamic meteorology, radiation, and thermodynamics.
This degree is taught in conjunction with New Zealand’s leading weather forecasting organisation—MetService. You’ll learn about cloud physics, satellites, climatology, and numerical weather prediction. You’ll gain an expert understanding of mid-latitude weather systems, particularly weather systems in New Zealand and the Tasman Sea region.
You’ll do a practical project based on one of the research topics arising from the work of MetService. As well as gaining new knowledge, you’ll develop your scientific rigour, critical thinking skills, and expertise in independent research.
