The Master’s in Meteorology at Sun Yat‑sen University is an academic research‑oriented graduate program under the discipline of Atmospheric Sciences, offered by the School of Atmospheric Sciences on the Zhuhai Campus. It is part of SYSU’s complete postgraduate training system in atmospheric sciences covering bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels, and reflects the university’s long‑standing tradition in meteorology and weather science dating back to its historic meteorology department roots. The program is structured for three years of full‑time study and leads to an Academic Master’s degree, with instruction and thesis supervision designed to develop broad and deep theoretical understanding and scientific research competence in meteorological sciences. The curriculum places emphasis on key scientific foundations in atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics, synoptic and dynamic meteorology, climate processes, weather systems, and related analytical methods, preparing students for original research and advanced scientific work in areas such as atmospheric processes, weather phenomena, climate variability, and environmental interactions. Graduates from this academic degree are well‑positioned to pursue PhD studies, research roles in national meteorological agencies, climate institutes, academic institutions, and scientific research centres, where expertise in meteorological theory, modelling, and observational analysis is essential. The program’s research focus and training align with national strategic priorities in weather prediction, climate science, extreme events, and atmospheric environment studies, and students engage closely with faculty research projects and experimental methods that advance understanding of the Earth’s atmospheric system. Instruction and research supervision for this program typically involve strong engagement with observational datasets, numerical simulation methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration across atmospheric science fields.
