This programme offers breadth across a wide range of historical and philosophical themes. It also encourages intensive investigation and specialisation: a survey of nearly 3,000 years of scientific ideas and communities, and an exploration of the inner workings of science's methods and theories.
The programme provides broad-based training in the history of science, the philosophy of science, and an “integrated history and philosophy of science”. The historical coverage is broad, from antiquity to the present, while the philosophical coverage spans causality and the philosophy of medicine as well as the metaphysics of chemistry and computer science.
MSc students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of one core module (15 credits), five optional modules (75 credits), two elective modules (30 credits), and a dissertation (60 credits), available in full time or part time mode.
The Postgraduate Diploma programme consists of one core module (15 credits), five optional modules (75 credits) and two elective modules (30 credits), available in full time or part time mode.
The Postgraduate Certificate programme consists of one core module (15 credits) and three optional modules (45 credits), available in full time mode only.
Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MSc in History and Philosophy of Science. Upon successful completion of 120 credits, you will be awarded a PG Dip in History and Philosophy of Science. Upon successful completion of 60 credits, you will be awarded a PG Cert in History and Philosophy of Science.
