We work with a wide variety of academic and industrial partners on research that tackles global problems.

We are part of the larger , which includes our world-leading Department of Meteorology and several national research centres.

We also incorporate Europe's largest academic group in data assimilation. Its research not only ties together the main themes in meteorology (weather, climate and earth observation), but reaches across into mathematics, statistics and beyond.

In the first two years of your degree course, you will benefit from a programme of relevant postgraduate courses which will be agreed between you and your supervisor/s as well as a programme of transferable skills organised by the Graduate School.

Our PhD students go on to work in academia as postdoctoral researchers, but also quickly find employment in industries such as IT, defence, fraud detection, finance and banking.
