Program Description

What are numbers? Do they exist? How can we know about them if they are not to be found in the familiar world of space and time that we inhabit? These are just some of the philosophical questions raised by the study of Mathematics.

INTRODUCTION

The relationship between philosophy and mathematics runs both ways: mathematics has helped formalise the study of logical argument that lies at the base of all good philosophy. So, it is no surprise that some of the greatest philosophers (eg Descartes, Leibniz, Frege, and Russell) have been mathematicians too.This programme allows you to study Mathematics and Philosophy in equal amounts over three years. The Philosophy component of the degree course includes modules in logic and the formal study of reasoning, in which you will learn how to assess arguments and construct proofs. You will learn how to understand complex and demanding texts, and to recognise good and bad arguments. In Mathematics, the core first-year modules introduce fundamental ideas, and are designed to bridge the gap between previous study and university. In subsequent years, you will generally take four modules in mathematics each year, choosing either to specialise or to continue to study a broad range of topics.By the end of the programme, you will be able to understand complex and demanding texts, reason intelligently and imaginatively about ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological issues, and have a grasp of the advantages and problems of a wide range of metaphysical and ethical views. In addition, you will have mastered a wide range of mathematical disciplines, and have extended your numerical, logical, and quantitative skills.

Year in Industry

This programme is available with a Year in Industry. Year Three is spent on a paid placement within an organisation in industry, broadly defined. You will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Department of Philosophy throughout, and your reflective written account of the experience will contribute towards your final degree result. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in Industry, please put the option code ‘YI’ in the ‘Further Choices’ section of your UCAS application form.

Other Requirements

  • Successful completion of examinations at standard X and XII (Higher Secondary School Certificate) with minimum marks of approximately 70 to 85%, according to the course and exam board.Please note: Sometimes your offer will be made on condition of you achieving an overall score in your XII standard exams, while some programmes will ask for specific scores in certain subjects. As such, any subject-specific requirements will reflect the overall percentage required (eg. 85% in best four subjects, including 85% in Maths), along with the individual score for each subject.
  • For IELTS Waive off , you require 70% and above in English in Standard XII for CBSE/CISCE/WB/Karnataka/Maharashtra/TamilNadu/Andhra Pradesh/Kerala/Telangana/Goa/Delhi/Sikkhim/Gujarat/Meghalaya boards.
