Master of Arts in Philosophy and Psychology
Program Overview
Philosophy
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, our place in it and our 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, the study of philosophy emphasises 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. Later in the degree, you will have the opportunity to select from a wide variety of courses from Philosophy of Well-Being to Feminism.
Psychology
Psychologists study:
- How we perceive, think and learn about the world around us
- The way biological and social factors influence how we behave
- How interests and abilities differ from person to person
- How we communicate verbally and non-verbally
- How and why our mental abilities change across our lifetime
