Master of Arts in Philosophy and Mathematics

Program Overview

Philosophy has been at the core of Western intellectual life for at least 2,500 years. It is central to our understanding of the world and of our place in and interaction with it.

Philosophy provides the tools by which the presuppositions of all areas of intellectual and practical activity may be systematically and critically examined.

While there are different approaches that philosophers have taken, characteristic of philosophy is the emphasis on the use of:

Argument
Critical enquiry
Rigour in reasoning
Clarity of expression, including the making of pertinent distinctions

Philosophy at Edinburgh

The University has a strong historic connection to the subject, counting Adam Ferguson and Sir William Hamilton among its former students.

Edinburgh has one of the UK’s largest philosophy departments and the Philosophy Society attracts high-profile speakers.

Our programme is structured in such a way that you will cover the basics of Western philosophy and have the opportunity to specialise in the areas of most interest.

Mathematics

Mathematics courses will initially enable you to develop on your knowledge of pure mathematics in a formal way and be introduced to the ways of mathematical thinking required at university level.

As you progress through the programme, you will receive an excellent grounding in advanced mathematics, studying a combination of compulsory and optional maths courses alongside philosophy.
