Philosophy / Sociology (SocSci), MA (Hons)

Philosophy systematically seeks clear answers to profound questions on knowledge, life, morality, science, and human nature through reason and argument. We host student reading parties, typically in the Highlands, and maintain a thriving undergraduate Philosophy Society.Sociology examines how people organize their lives, the constraints they face, patterns in social behavior, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities. A distinctive feature of our programme—praised by external examiners and graduates—is its integration of sociological, criminological, and anthropological perspectives.
