Master of Science [M.Sc] [Web Applications and Services] From University of Leicester

Why study?

The Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Thought programme from the University of Leeds allows you to explore three different yet closely related subjects as they relate to a key subject: the nature of the mind.

In core modules youÕll interrogate and use the scientific, philosophical and historical methods used to understand what the mind is and how it works. YouÕll look at the mechanisms of the brain, childhood development, mental illness, the history of psychology and the possibility of knowledge.

YouÕll also have the chance to develop your understanding by choosing from a wide range of optional modules reflecting the diverse research interests across the University. TheyÕll allow you to focus on the topics that interest you such as ethics, or the philosophy of art or religion.

Combining philosophy, psychology, the history of ideas and sciences, this varied and exciting degree allows you to explore some of the biggest questions facing humanity Ð how we think, what we know, how we know it, or whether we can really know anything.

Career opportunities

Because this degree crosses so many disciplines, it will grant you an impressive range of subject knowledge. But youÕll also develop valuable transferable skills that really stand out to employers. YouÕll have strong research skills and be able to interpret and analyse both qualitative and quantitative data. YouÕll also be confident working independently or within a team, and youÕll have the advanced communication skills necessary to present and defend your own arguments.
