Study Philosophy of Science

The Department provides training in philosophy of science at every level.

Our undergraduate programmes (Part II and Part III) and MPhil courses allow students to specialise in philosophy of science, or to learn some philosophy of science as a complement to studies in science, medicine, or history of science. For more information on courses, see undergraduate study and postgraduate study.

We offer PhD supervision in a wide range of areas in philosophy of science. Interested students should make preliminary inquiries with potential supervisors (see people). See also funding for postgraduate students.
