Philosophy and Psychology

About this course

Philosophy and Psychology is a combination that brings together two disciplines with a shared fascination with the human mind and how it works. Philosophy approaches fundamental questions about thought, knowledge, consciousness, free will and moral reasoning through careful conceptual analysis and argument, asking what we can actually know and how we should think about the nature of mental life. Psychology examines the same territory empirically, investigating how people perceive, remember, decide, feel and interact using the methods of experimental science. Together, the two perspectives illuminate what each alone cannot fully explain. At the University of Aberdeen this four-year full-time degree takes you on an intellectually rich journey through some of the most fundamental questions available to any student, developing both the rigour of philosophical argument and the hands-on skill
