Course summary

The relationship between philosophy and mathematics runs both ways: mathematics has helped formalise the study of logical argument that lies at the base of all good philosophy. So, it is no surprise that some of the greatest philosophers (eg Descartes, Leibniz, Frege, and Russell) have been mathematicians too.This programme allows you to study Mathematics and Philosophy in equal amounts over three years. The Philosophy component of the degree course includes modules in logic and the formal study of reasoning, in which you will learn how to assess arguments and construct proofs. You will learn how to understand complex and demanding texts, and to recognise good and bad arguments. In Mathematics, the core first-year modules introduce fundamental ideas, and are designed to bridge the gap between previous study and university. In subsequent years, you will generally take four modules in mathematics each year, choosing either to specialise or to continue to study a broad range of topics.By the end of the programme, you will be able to understand complex and demanding texts, reason intelligently and imaginatively about ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological issues, and have a grasp of the advantages and problems of a wide range of metaphysical and ethical views. In addition, you will have mastered a wide range of mathematical disciplines, and have extended your numerical, logical, and quantitative skills.
