Prepare for a world where human thought and technology collide. By embarking on the Philosophy and Computer Science BA, you’ll learn about core concepts that belong in both of these distinctive fields, tied together by the theme of logic. Taught at two world-class UCL departments, you’ll graduate with key knowledge and transferable skills ideal for careers in sectors spanning from artificial intelligence to law.
The Philosophy and Computer Science BA is for you if you want to bring precise formal tools to bear on the big questions that face us in life.
You'll learn about core concepts which belong equally in Philosophy and Computer Science: concepts to do with reasoning, agency, and fairness. You'll sharpen your analytic and critical skills, with an emphasis on clarity of thought and expression. You'll develop abstract but applicable problem-solving skills, such as rigorous logical reasoning, programming, and the design of efficient processes, with an emphasis on understanding formal tools.
