MA Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics The Department of Philosophy has exceptional research strength in the fields of logic and the philosophy of mathematics, and very strong links with the School of Mathematics, including a joint position in both departments. It is ranked by the latest Philosophical Gourmet Report (2017/18) as the strongest department in the UK for mathematical logic and the joint second strongest for philosophy of mathematics.
Our MA draws on these strengths and is open to students with first degrees in philosophy (subject to a suitable background in logic) or mathematics. It consists of six taught units, examined by essay, and a 15,000-word dissertation. The dissertation is your chance to produce an extended piece of philosophical research that can act as preparation for a graduate research degree.
As a postgraduate student, you will be an active member of the department’s flourishing research culture. You will be encouraged to attend and participate in both the weekly departmental research seminar and in the Philosophy and
bristol.ac.uk/pg-study
History of Science seminar, which often features well-known scholars in the field, from Bristol and beyond. There is also a weekly postgraduate seminar, where you may present your own work before your peers and learn to develop your argumentative strategies in a supportive environment.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) with a minimum average of 65 per cent in philosophy (with a significant logic component) or mathematics. Non-traditional qualifications/ routes may also be considered.
MA Philosophy
The MA in Philosophy will give you a thorough grounding in the core knowledge and skills required for philosophical research, while allowing you to pursue your own philosophical interests in depth.
You will be taught and supervised by members of a friendly and informal department with an outstanding reputation in the UK and
internationally. The MA is designed to give you the most benefit from the research expertise of individual members of staff. For more than half of the course, you will have one-to-one tutorials with a member of the department. You will be guided throughout by a personal tutor who will help you structure your course of study.
There are three core units and three optional units, which will either be a taught seminar unit from a list of those available or a unit taught by individual tutorials on an agreed topic of your choice. Satisfactory completion of the taught component will allow you to progress to writing a dissertation of up to 15,000 words on an approved topic of your choice.
You will be encouraged to participate in the three weekly research seminars on a wide range of philosophical issues. There is also a weekly postgraduate seminar, where you may present your own work before your peers, helping you to develop argumentative strategies in a supportive environment.
