Mathematics is an incredibly powerful subject that sits at the foundation of all science and technology. And, as a Mathematician, you will learn how to see the beauty of maths in everything; from patterns in nature to geometry in buildings. It will develop your skills in logic, critical thinking and quantitative reasoning. Similarly, Philosophy emphasises logic and critical thinking, while also asking questions about human existence, truth and knowledge, right and wrong, and more. Together, these disciplines develop your approach to constructing arguments, examining and proving theories, and developing persuasive reasons and positions - essential skills in today’s complex and globally connected world.


Broaden your horizons
Enrich your university experience with a year overseas at one of our partner universities. In Year 3, head out to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. We’ll support you all the way!


What to expect
Our four-year BSc Mathematics with Philosophy (Study Abroad) degree begins by building your understanding of mathematical methods and concepts through a mix of lectures and workshops. You will explore a wide range of topics, from multivariable calculus, probability and statistics, to logic, proofs and theorems. Our philosophy modules are taught by academics from the Philosophy team, meaning you benefit from the expertise of two academic communities. Here, you will learn about key themes in philosophy, consciously drawing on a broad range of philosophical traditions to do so, from experts in Analytic, Continental Indian, Chinese, and feminist thought.
In Year 2, as well as deepening your mathematical knowledge in analysis, algebra, probability and statistics, you will start to expand your understanding of philosophy through guided philosophical study, and optional topics such as the philosophy of science, metaethics, and 19th century analytic philosophy.
As you progress into Year 4, you can choose modules that further appeal to your interests, enabling you to delve deeper and gain the specialist skills and knowledge needed to guide you towards a specific career pathway. This could be in areas such as cryptography, graph theory, abstract algebra, moral, political, and legal aspects of philosophy.
