BSc Meteorology and Geophysics at University of Bonn

Meteorology is a largely physically and chemically oriented natural science that deals with the state, composition and movement of the atmosphere. Geophysics deals with the earth’s structure, its physical states and phenomena as well as its interior processes. The classic objective of meteorology is to understand and predict the weather, while geophysics aims at measuring, characterizing and modeling the solid earth and its physical fields.
