Overview

With the demand for environmental scientists expected to rise by 7% in the UK in the near future, Meteorology opens doors to a career built on science, research, and global relevance. Meteorology roles in climate research, environmental monitoring, and hazard prediction offer meaningful work and growing job security.

The course offers a detailed exploration of how Meteorology explains cloud formation, weather development, and precipitation. You’ll delve into the physics of atmospheric processes and understand how natural hazards emerge from changing atmospheric conditions. From analysing storms to tracing solar system influences, every aspect of Meteorology is addressed in a structured and purely theoretical format.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
