Physics and Philosophy
Why Choose Pembroke?
Pembroke is one of only five colleges to have a Fellow in Philosophy of Physics - a core component of this course. Due to the wide variety of joint schools offered at Pembroke, the philosophy community within College is particularly extensive, offering students the ability to benefit from a diverse range of perspectives on philosophical matters.
- The Physics society meets on average twice per term to discuss current research and hear from engaging guest speakers. The philosophy team organise a talk from a prominent philosopher each term and there is a reading group which meets regularly. As a student studying a joint honours degree you can benefit from both sets of subject activities.

Have you considered our other joint honours courses?
Both of these disciplines form part of several other related courses, including Maths & Philosophy, PPL, PPE, Philosophy & Modern Languages, Philosophy & Theology, and Physics.
Meet Our Academics

Professor Tim Woollings
Tim's work centres on the physics of atmospheric circulation and how this shapes weather and climate patterns around the world. In particular, he is interested in the dynamics underlying polar weather patterns, circulation structures in the Southern Hemisphere under climate change and the link between emerging trends in the jet streams and tropical circulation.
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.
