The Master’s in Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Environment at Sun Yat‑sen University is a research‑oriented academic graduate program housed within the university’s School of Atmospheric Sciences, located on the Zhuhai Campus. This academic degree focuses on building a deep scientific understanding of the physical and chemical processes of the atmosphere, the dynamics of air pollution and environmental change, and the complex interactions between atmospheric systems and the broader environment. Students study foundational subjects such as fluid dynamics, atmospheric thermodynamics, radiation, atmospheric chemistry, aerosol physics, boundary‑layer processes, and numerical methods used in modelling weather, climate, and environmental phenomena. Together with advanced topics in atmospheric environment analysis, climate system behaviour, and environmental impacts, the curriculum prepares students to conduct rigorous scientific research and contribute to the field’s theoretical development. The program is structured over three years of full‑time study, taught primarily in Chinese, and culminates in a master’s thesis based on independent research under the supervision of faculty experts. Graduates from this academic degree are equipped for doctoral studies, research careers, and specialist roles in meteorological agencies, environmental research institutes, climate science centres, and other sectors where atmospheric physics and environmental science expertise is critical. The School of Atmospheric Sciences at SYSU integrates atmospheric physics and environmental research within national strategic areas such as climate change response, air quality and pollution studies, and regional weather‑environment interactions, offering students access to active research platforms and interdisciplinary collaboration.
