Philosophy/Sociology (SocSci) MA (Hons)

**Philosophy** is the systematic attempt to arrive at clear answers to profound questions about issues such as knowledge, life, morality, science and human nature using reason and argument.<br/><br/>We host reading parties for students, usually in the Highlands, and have a flourishing undergraduate Philosophy Society.<br/><br/>**Sociology** studies the ways that people organise their lives together, the constraints within which they do so, the patterns of their social behaviour, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities.<br/><br/>One of the distinctive features of our Sociology programme, commended by external examiners and by our graduates, is the combination of sociological, criminological and anthropological perspectives which we provide.
