About this programme
Join a university ranked in the UK top five for mathematics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (6th in the UK for maths, Complete University Guide by subject 2026).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 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 to 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. In your final year, 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.Visit our Think Big scholarship pages to find out about the scholarships available to international undergraduate students in this subject area.
