This three-year course combines two of the most fundamental and intellectually stimulating forms of human enquiry. It is perfect for those students wishing to benefit from gaining advanced skills in mathematics alongside critical thinking skills, with the flexibility and freedom to choose philosophical subjects of interest to them, from contemporary analytic philosophy to ancient Stoic thought. By studying both subjects you will not only master the skills of handling complex data and finding creative solutions to problems, but you will also be introduced to the beautiful world of abstract ideas, and encouraged to analyse challenging issues, question your assumptions and communicate your thoughts with clarity. You will gain a unique insight into the world of logic that bridges the two disciplines and you will open doors to a diverse range of career opportunities. Our modular structure gives you the flexibility to tailor your studies to your own interests, and we offer a friendly and motivating learning environment, with a strong focus on small group teaching. Mathematics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and yet it sits at the heart of modern science and technology. Led by experts in the field, our core modules will give you a grounding in the key methods and concepts that underpin the subject, as well as practical skills that are widely transferable in the world of work. Our curriculum covers pure and applied mathematics, practical quantitative and statistical skills, the mathematics of information, financial markets, and more. You'll also learn about the fundamentals of ancient and modern philosophy, the philosophy of politics, and the art of argument and persuasion. We address some of the most important political, cultural and ethical issues in the world today and tackle fundamental questions about knowledge, reasoning, our views on the universe and the impacts they have on our lives. As well as training in core philosophical areas: epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy, and the history of philosophy, you will benefit from a diverse range of modules on gender, the environment, mental health and quantum difference. We also have a vibrant Philosophy Society. Your mathematical studies will make up 50% of your overall degree, and philosophy will contribute the remaining 50%. Our flexible degree courses enable you to apply to take a Placement Year, which can be spent studying abroad, working or carrying out voluntary work. You can even do all three if you want to (minimum of three months each)! To recognise the importance of this additional skills development and university experience, your Placement Year will be formally recognised on your degree certificate and will contribute to your overall result. Please note conditions may apply if your degree already includes an integrated year out, please contact the Careers & Employability Service for more information.

You will be assigned a Personal tutor in Mathematics and designated staff liaison in Philosophy. We use a variety of teaching methods and there is a strong focus on small group teaching. Our mathematics courses are delivered through lectures, seminars, group tutorials, statistics and IT classes, and problem solving workshops. You will also be expected to work on worksheets, revision and project work in your own time. In year 2, much of our mathematics teaching is delivered through lectures, workshops and practical classes, and in year 3, mostly through relatively small group lectures and supervised project work. Philosophy is taught through a combination of lectures, large and small seminars and occasionally through one-to-one tutorials. Outside of class time you will work on group projects and wide-ranging but guided independent study. You will be supported in both subjects by the extensive resources available on Moodle, our e-learning facility. Your degree course will comprise 50% modules in Mathematics and 50% modules in Philosophy Assessment is through a mixture of coursework and end-of-year examinations, depending on the modules you choose to take.

The tuition fee for UK undergraduates is controlled by Government regulations, and for those starting a degree in the academic year 2021/22, is £9,250 for that year. The fee for UK undergraduates starting in 2022/23 has not yet been confirmed. The UK Government has confirmed that EU nationals are no longer eligible to pay the same fees as UK students, nor be eligible for funding from the Student Loans Company (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/student-loans-company). This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2022, we will award a fee reduction scholarship equivalent to 60% of the difference between the UK and international fee for your course. This will apply for the duration of your course. Fees for international students may increase year-on-year in line with the rate of inflation. The policy at Royal Holloway is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information see fees and funding (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/fees-and-funding/) and our terms and conditions (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/applying/admissions-policy-and-procedures/). Other essential costs: These estimated costs relate to studying this particular degree programme at Royal Holloway. Costs, such as accommodation, food, books and other learning materials and printing etc., have not been included.
