Entry requirements

Logic (MSc)

The applicant should normally have at least a Bachelor's or an equivalent degree in one of the following fields:

  • computer science
  • artificial intelligence
  • mathematics
  • philosophy
  • linguistics

In exceptional circumstances, applicants with degrees in other relevant disciplines may also be considered, provided they have a sufficiently strong background.
All applicants must have a reasonable background in logic, affinity with mathematical and formal thinking and some familiarity with mathematical proofs. In practice, this means that we expect that incoming students have had a formal introduction to logic up to the completeness theorem for first-order logic and have taken courses requiring mathematical or formal reasoning.

In addition, applicants are required to have a strong academic record, and must satisfy the English language requirements (see below). The tight schedule of the programme leaves very little room to compensate for deficiencies.
