The Bachelor of Science in Meteorology at the University of Pretoria is a three-year degree in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences that trains students in the scientific study of the atmosphere — weather systems, climate processes, atmospheric physics, and meteorological forecasting. Meteorologists are in demand across South Africa's aviation sector, agricultural industry, mining operations, disaster risk management, and climate change adaptation programmes — all of which depend on accurate weather information and forecasting. UP's meteorology programme is closely linked with the South African Weather Service (SAWS), providing students with insights into the operational side of South African meteorology and career pathways in weather forecasting and climate services.
