The Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading is part of the School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences.
Our diverse community of staff and students is united by a passion to explore how mathematical, physical and computational sciences can be used to better predict the weather and climate.
Supportive environment
You'll find a strong sense of community within the Department of Meteorology. Staff and students get to know one another thanks to our excellent staff-to-student ratio.
Our departmental coffee room, which sits at the heart of the Department, is a place where everyone can share their passion for tackling the challenges of the natural world in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Student-led careers and networking day
Held in the Department, our networking day enables you to establish contacts within your chosen field and learn more about what it's like to work in different sectors of meteorology and climate science.
The types of organisations and companies that attend include instrumentation companies, private and government forecasters, catastrophe and insurance companies, and research organisations.
