From the Caribbean to the Antarctic, you’ll lead the way in collecting, processing and analysing meteorological and oceanographic information. Using your excellent leaderships skills, you’ll play an important part in preparing key missions, coordinating the teams that analyse environmental factors around the globe. Once you’ve trained as a Hydrographic and Meteorology Officer, you can then specialise in either hydrography, or meteorology and oceanography.
My job takes me all over the world, as I lead my team on some truly fascinating research projects. I also get to work alongside pilots from the Fleet Air Arm, which is really rewarding.
Process and communicate essential environmental data to use to our operational advantage.
Maintain some of our most vital international partnerships, either through training domestic teams, or by using your expertise to help allies.
If you specialise in hydrography, you’ll most likely spend your time on board a survey vessel.
As a Meteorologist you’ll focus on the tactical implications of weather and atmospheric conditions for our aircraft, ships and submarines.
If you take your A-levels after the start of 2017, you need 72 UCAS points, including two non-overlapping subject areas; before 2017, you need 180 UCAS points. UCAS points must include one AS Level Maths or Physical Science subject. Degrees displaying Mathematical or Statistical content in lieu of AS/A Levels may be considered. Degrees without suitable Maths content but that are directly related to Hydrography, Meteorology or Oceanography may also be considered.
