Maths and Philosophy
Why Pembroke?
- Maths and Philosophy is a joint honours degree, bringing together the logic and thought of Philosophy with that of Mathematics. At Pembroke we have a large number of students on courses including Maths or Philosophy, creating a community where members support each other.
- Pembroke has a large team of senior academics who tutor on this course, including Professor Guy Kahane (Philosophy) and Professor Damian Rossler (Pure Maths). The Tutors at Pembroke are not only experienced in teaching, but also engage in research and writing activities in their fields of expertise.
- The maths society meets twice a term and offers engaging talks by guest speakers about the real-life application of mathematics. It also provides the unique opportunity to network with experts in a range of fields. Meanwhile, the philosophy team organise a talk from a prominent philosopher once per term and there is a reading group which meets regularly. Students studying our joint degrees benefit from both sets of subject activities.
- For the maths element of the course you need a real interest in the subject, coupled with a deep passion for abstract concepts and on the philosophy side an ability to think clearly, reason and engage in structured arguments is key.
Meet Our Academics
Pembroke Philosophers are eligible for £100 of funding in their first year and another £100 in their final year towards the cost of books for their course for personal use. This is claimed from the librarian.
