Course summary
Combining philosophy, psychology, and the history of science, this varied and interesting degree allows you to explore the most fundamental questions about our minds. You’ll study these different yet closely related specialisms and how they relate to the nature of the mind. By utilising scientific, philosophical, and historical methods you'll understand what the mind is and how it works. Optional and compulsory modules will allow you to examine the mechanisms of the brain, childhood development, mental illness, the history of psychology and the relationship between the mind and the brain. You’ll also be able to study a broader range of topics in philosophy and the history of science. These might include how science is communicated, moral philosophy, artificial intelligence, race and gender, the philosophy of art, and the history of scientific responses to global challenges such as pandemics and major advances in technology.
