Best place to study mathematical logic uk

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the best universities in the UK for postgraduate studies in logic, with Manchester initially mentioned as a potential leader. Participants note that while there are limited resources for ranking UK institutions specifically for logic, some universities are recognized for their strengths in this area. Oxford, Manchester, Leeds, and Queen Mary London are highlighted as having strong mathematical logic programs. The conversation also touches on the differences in academic culture between the UK and the US, with a suggestion to seek advice from professors or classmates for more localized insights. Overall, the focus remains on finding institutions that offer robust logic programs, particularly in mathematical logic.

I was wondering where the best place to study logic at postgraduate level in the UK. As far as I know it's Manchester but I could be wrong?

Thanks for any help

Hi hmmm16,

Although we have a handful of British members amongst our staff and regulars, the majority of members aren't from the UK so I don't know if this is the best place for your question. In the US there are yearly rankings of universities for undergraduate and graduate studies, and I would guess that you could find them by major too but I don't know about for the UK.

If you studied in the UK for your undergrad work, can you ask your professors about this or classmates? Sorry to not be any help but I know you made another thread previously about this topic and had no replies so I wanted to chime in why I think you're not getting any advice on MHB for this question.

Thanks for the reply Jameson. I do have people at my university to talk to but I am just trying to get as many different opinions as I can. Also as I am quite interested in mathematical logic I am looking at universities that at least have some sort of logic in their masters degree (which is surprisingly few) but there is nobody in my mathematics department that does any sort of logic so I was just looking for other opinions but I appreciate that things are quite different in the UK to the US.

Thanks for the link Captian Black but I think it is only looking at mathematical logic in philosophy departments not maths ones but thanks anyway!

Thanks again for the help!
 
This may be out of date (because I retired several years ago and am no longer in touch with the current scene), but the British universities whose maths depts have strong groups in mathematical logic have traditionally been Oxford, Manchester, Leeds and Queen Mary London.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
