Studying Meteorology and Geophysics

You need to think carefully about which subject is right for you. Use our online self assessment (OSA) to get a first impression!
Our study advisory service is available to provide you with a wide range of information and give you an insight into meteorology and geophysics. Come by and talk to us in person!

Our mentorate and MuG student council is happy to provide insights from a student perspective.  If you have any general or specific study matters, please contact the Central Study Advisory Service at the University of Bonn.

You can enroll online for the Bachelor program in Meteorology and Geophysics (in German language) at the student registry of the University of Bonn for both, the winter semester (June 10 to September 30) or for the summer semester (December 10 to March 31). Get started!

Specific concerns and frequently asked questions, such as changing universities, transferring, prospective international students, studying without a high school diploma, and questions about the enrollment process as a regular or non-degree student, can be addressed with the student registry and/or the central study advisory service at the University of Bonn.

Appy for the Master program in PEA online for both the winter and summer semesters through the application portal https://application.uni-bonn.de.

Admission requirements: a first related qualifying university degree with 60 ECTS credits in meteorology/ geophysics, mathematics, and physics, of which at least 10 credits must be in mathematics, 10 credits in physics, and 20 credits in meteorology or geophysics. Proficiency in the English language is required as well (at least B2 level at the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

If your related Bachelor degree program lacks the required 60 ECTS credits and portions of the aforementioned subject knowledge, you might complete modules as bridging courses in the BSc. Meteorology and Geophysics. Please contact the study advisory in advance of your application for further information.

Double Master degree for excellent students in the Master program “Physics of the Earth and Atmosphere” at the University of Bonn and “Geophysics for Natural Risks and Resources” at the University of Padua - two Master degrees within one program from two prestigious universities!
