MATHEMATICS AND PHILOSOPHY - BSC (HONS)

This Combined Honours Degree includes modules from both Philosophy and Mathematics, taught by mathematicians and philosophers who are all active researchers in their fields. You will explore the beauty, elegance and practicality of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. You will learn to use maths for a range of purposes which may include developing precise and logical arguments, constructing rigorous proofs, and formulating solutions to new problems. Mathematics helps you to take novel approaches to problem solving and make critical interpretations of data and text; your skills will be valuable wherever there’s a need for logical thinking. In Year one of Mathematics, you will study core material which may include calculus and algebra, while in subsequent years you can begin to tailor your programme according to your own strengths or interests.
