About the course

　　A PhD involves extensive, sustained, and original research in your chosen subject, with the results being presented in a thesis that will contribute to intellectual knowledge of the field. It is a mark of intellectual ability, self-discipline, and commitment. A PhD prepares you for a number of careers, including as an academic.

　　Training in this degree develops two of the most fundamental and widely applicable human intellectual capabilities. Not only will you gain the analytical skills of the mathematician, but you will develop your ability to argue cogently as a philosopher. In short: you will think critically, logically, and independently, and you will write, reason, and communicate clearly. These are the skills which underpin success in any profession. The programme also equips students for PhD programmes in Logic, Philosophy and Foundations of Mathematics. The UC Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a research-only degree, carried out under expert supervision and using world-class facilities. At UC you can complete a PhD in over 70 subjects, joining over 1,000 students from more than 60 nations. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
