Overview

Bachelor of Science (Atmospheric Science)

Progress in atmospheric science relies heavily on analysing data produced by satellite-borne and other types of instruments designed by physicists. 

Atmospheric scientists need a broad scientific basis as well as experience in computing. 

With the growing field of climate science and the increasing demand for tools and instruments to predict and monitor the environment, atmospheric scientists contribute to innovations in designing and prototyping mechanisms. 

They are also involved in the analysis and interpretation of data.

In the Bachelor of Science (Atmospheric Science) at UOW, you will complete physics, mathematics, chemistry, earth and environmental science and statistics subjects. 

You will also study specialist subjects in remote sensing and the physics of atmospheric processes.

All subjects include a major practical component to complement and reinforce what you learn in lectures and ensure you gain hands-on skills that prepare you for real-world activities in your future careers. 

You will learn from academics internationally recognised in many fields of physics research, including medical radiation physics, solid-state physics, photonics and education.
