Master's Programs


Master's in Logic and Theory of Science
(in English)

The Logic and Theory of Science Master's Program will begin in September 2010.
Description
The planned program is focusing on logic and its applications in the philosophy of science, particularly in the foundations of mathematics, physics, linguistics and the social sciences. Beyond a few core courses and a joint four-semester seminar series, providing a kind of common background to all students, we will offer the following four optional modules:
  • Logic and the Philosophy of Mathematics
  • Foundations of Physics
  • Logic in Linguistics
  • Models in the Social Sciences
Students will have to take one of these modules, according to their personal field of interest. (For further details, see the list of the planned courses here.)

Faculty includes:

Hajnal Andréka (Rényi Institute of Mathematics)
László Kálmán (Research Institute for Linguistics)
István Németi (Rényi Institute of Mathematics)
Ildikó Sain (Rényi Institute of Mathematics)
László E. Szabó (Department of Logic, Eötvös)
Gábor Takács (Department of Theoretical Physics, Eötvös)
Admissions
We encourage the application of both Hungarian and foreign students having a BA/BSc degree either in philosophy or in some other field related to the module the applicant intends to choose. Typically, those who studied philosophy might be missing some science and mathematics background, and vice verse. Therefore, each student will be suggested, personally, to take some "background courses".

Further information about the L&TS MA will be available from this web site. If you are interested, please, contact the chair of Department of Logic, András Máté, and if you like, we will keep you informed on the future developments.
