You'll learn through coursework and an independent project based on a real-world meteorological research objective. PGDipMet students will complete seven courses and MMet students will do nine. Both qualifications start with five core 400-level Geophysics (Meteorology) courses—covering mid-latitude weather systems, radiation and thermodynamics, cloud physics and weather prediction. You'll add another 400-level Geophysics course of your choice or an approved course of your choice that can be from another discipline, and complete the 500-level research project. If you're doing the Master's, you'll take an additional two 500-level courses. The 30-point project gives you the opportunity to work on current meteorological issues, with data supplied by New Zealand's MetService. You'll be guided and supported by staff from both the MetService and Victoria.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics or similar subject with at least a B+ average. You may also be required to demonstrate your proficiency in English. All other requirements depend on nationality. Please see the website.
