Mathematics and Philosophy (MSci)

Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Maths research (THEanalysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top ten for Maths, QS World University Rankings by subject 2024). If you love the challenge of thinking through a maths question and the satisfaction of having solved a difficult problem but also want to think about a broad range of intellectual questions in a rigorous way, this four-year course is for you. Linked by the formal study of logic, the two components of the course complement each other. You will develop rigorous analysis and argument distinctive of the analytic philosophical tradition while developing mathematical maturity to reason through subtle ideas in abstract mathematics. There is also the opportunity to use your mathematical knowledge in the study of philosophy for example through interdisciplinary units on the philosophy of various other disciplines, such as physics, political theory, and psychology. You will have the opportunity to undertake an independent extended essay project on a philosophical topic of your choice, supervised by a member of staff with relevant expertise. The fourth year of the course allows you to explore mathematics and philosophy in depth, taking advantage of our research-inspired, specialist units, including learning alongside postgraduate MA students in philosophy. Think Big bursariesof £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area. In your first year, you will take mathematics units in common with all other first-year maths students. You will also take mandatory Introduction to Philosophy units. From your second year on, you can choose a variety of units in both mathematics and philosophy, such as Number Theory, Quantum Mechanics, Philosophy of Science, and Ethics, besides a few mandatory units that bridge philosophy and mathematics, such as Logic, Set Theory and Philosophy of Mathematics. We accept a wide variety of qualifications and welcome applications from students of all backgrounds. Below is a guide to the typical offers for this course.
