goals

The objective of this program is to train graduates specializing in the area of meteorology and climatology who can perform professional activities where this knowledge is relevant, as well as pursue advanced studies in these disciplines.

Applicant Profile

The MMC is primarily aimed at meteorologists, civil engineers, graduates in Earth Sciences (oceanographers, geologists, geophysicists, etc.) and Exact Sciences (physicists, mathematicians, etc.) interested in a
Master's level academic training in atmospheric sciences. The program is also open to professionals working in related fields who are interested in deepening their knowledge.
knowledge and understanding of meteorological and climate phenomena and that they have the necessary skills in physics and mathematics to follow the program.

Graduate profile

The career paths for graduates of this program are primarily focused on academic pursuits. The program provides a solid foundation in atmospheric sciences for those who wish to pursue doctoral studies in related fields (meteorology, atmospheric sciences, geosciences, etc.). Graduates can also teach meteorology and climate science, or join research and development units in institutions such as meteorological services (Chilean Meteorological Directorate, Chilean Navy Meteorological Service) and other public agencies related to these topics (ONEMI, SHOA, Ministry of the Environment, General Directorate of Water Resources, SERNAGEOMIN, etc.). Graduates with more applied interests can strengthen innovation and development activities in companies in the mining, agricultural, energy, and other sectors, as well as in consulting firms specializing in meteorology, the environment, water resources, and related fields.
