Course summary

This BSc Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method gives you the chance to examine deep philosophical questions alongside top researchers in the field.

You’ll engage in wide-ranging philosophical debates encompassing ethics, science and justice, such as:

What is the nature of reality?
Is time travel possible?
What is the justification for punishment?
Can beliefs be morally wrong?
What is the role of values in science?

During your studies, you’ll sharpen your skills in logical reasoning and argumentation, essay writing and speaking, and learn how to engage critically with difficult ideas. We encourage you to think outside the box and approach philosophical debates from different angles.

You’ll draw on our interdisciplinary knowledge across the social sciences and specialist expertise in the philosophy of science, moral and political philosophy and logic, decision theory and social choice.
