Mathematics and Philosophy

About this course

Mathematics and philosophy share a deeper kinship than is often recognised. Both disciplines are concerned with rigour, proof, and the question of what we can know and how we can establish it.

Studying them together means you are always asking not just how to solve a problem but what kind of thing a solution is. At the University of Leeds this three-year joint honours programme offers real freedom to follow your own interests across both disciplines. You will engage with pure and applied mathematics, developing skills in analysis, algebra, statistics, and mathematical
