B.Sc. Meteorology Course Suitability

  • The course is suitable for those who want to know that how can we save lives, how can we protect our environment?
  • They could be able to use their knowledge to warn others when danger is approaching in the form of tornadoes and hurricanes.
  • They should have the capability to use latest tools of modern technology-computers, radar, satellites-to discover how natural processes and human activities affect our atmosphere.
  • They should have good knowledge of Mathematics and Statistics. In order for all of the information to be correct and in terms that the normal citizen could understand the meteorologist would need to be able to promptly convert figures, so we could comprehend the information.
