The Division of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of
Leeds offers a taught MA in the Philosophy of Physics.

This course pursues in depth the philosophical questions raised by
modern physics. Students will explore advanced topics centring on our
understanding of quantum mechanics and spacetime theory, whilst also
addressing the general epistemological issues that science presents.
Options provide scope for further study in philosophy, in history of
science or in physics; and the dissertation presents the opportunity for
detailed development of a topic of interest in the philosophy of
physics. The course will provide an ideal preparation for higher
research in the philosophy of or foundations of physics.


Candidates should normally have a good honours degree. Relevant
background in mathematics and physics is essential and previous study in
philosophy or history and philosophy of science recommended.
Applications welcome for the academic year 2008-9.
