"#### 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 and our interaction with it.

 

 Philosophy gives you the skills to think about great philosophical questions in a clear and systematic way.

 

 While there are different approaches that philosophers have taken, the study of philosophy focuses on:

 

 * argument

 * critical enquiry

 * rigour in reasoning

 * clarity of expression, including making important distinctions

 #### Mathematics

 

 Mathematics courses will help you develop your knowledge of pure mathematics in a formal way. They will also introduce you to ways of mathematical thinking required at university level.

 

 As you progress through the programme, you will build a foundation in advanced mathematics, studying compulsory and option mathematics courses alongside philosophy.
