Join a University ranked in the UK top five for Maths research (THE analysis 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 bursaries of £3,000 are available to support first-year international undergraduate students in this subject area.
