Hi Michael,

I have just finished 3 years at Reading of a 4 year course in
Meteorology
where I get to go out to Oklahoma to study for a year next year. You
will
almost definitely need Maths and Physics to A-level as it is a
substantial
part of the course. Any other A-level dosen't really matter that much
but
Geography would be a good one to do.

If you want to be a meteorologist then you will need to do a degree in
a
maths or physics-based subject. The best possible route is to do a MSc
in
Meteorology after having done a BSc in some other subject such as
Physics.
You will certainly need to take both maths and Physics A-levels. I
wish
omebody had given me this advice before I started uni!!!

Not sure about other universities, but Reading has the most
well-respected
meteorology department. If you go to the UCAS website,
http://www.ucas.com/search/index.html you can search for other weather
related courses and they will tell you the requirements.

Hope this helps.

Jeremy
