Location of University of Bristol
The University of Bristol has exceptional research strength in the fields of logic and the philosophy of mathematics. It is ranked by the Philosophical Gourmet Report as the strongest department in the UK for mathematical logic, the second strongest for philosophical logic, and the fourth strongest for philosophy of mathematics. The Philosophy department has strong links with the Mathematics department, and hosts the AHRC Foundations of Structuralism project which investigates the logical foundations of structuralist theories in mathematics and physics, and aims to integrate work done in each of these disciplines.
Our MA draws on these strengths. It is intended for students who wish to study logic, philosophical logic and the philosophy of mathematics. It is open to students with first degrees in philosophy or mathematics
