Program Overview

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. It is ranked by the latest Philosophical Gourmet Report as the strongest department in the UK for mathematical logic, the joint second strongest for philosophy of mathematics and the joint third strongest for philosophical logic. Bristol currently hosts a major research grant exploring a unified perspective on theories of truth and semantics; see our research pages.

This MA builds on these outstanding research strengths. It is intended for graduates of philosophy or mathematics who wish to study logic and philosophy of mathematics. The programme includes taught units in the Department of Philosophy and the School of Mathematics.

As a postgraduate student, you will be an active member of the department’s flourishing research culture. You will be encouraged to take part in regular departmental research seminars and workshops, including regular events in logic and philosophy of mathematics (see events pages). These often feature 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.
