MSc in Logic and Foundation of Mathematics

AI Thread Summary
A BSc in Mathematical Science with a GPA of 3.00/4.00 may still allow for admission into an MSc program in Logic and Foundations of Mathematics, depending on the university's specific requirements. The University of Amsterdam offers a strong MSc in Logic with various tracks, including mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and linguistics, all taught in English. Additionally, the University of Bristol is noted for its excellence in the philosophy of mathematics, offering a degree in Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics. The University of Manchester is also recognized for its strengths in logic. Prospective students are encouraged to check the specific entry requirements on university websites, as GPA translations may vary.

Hi all, I got a BSc in Mathematical Science (not very good result: 3.00/4.00) but I'm interested to further my study in Logic and Foundation of Mathematics.
Can I take MSc in Logic and Foundation of Mathematics with such result? If can, which university you guys would recommend?

I understand there is a hive of logical activity at the University of Amsterdam. I believe courses relevant to you are taught in English. You could try the MSc Logic - mathematics track (also on offer: philosophy, computer science or linguistics track).

Here is a list of all postgraduate courses in the UK listed under 'mathematics' with keyword 'logic'.

I understand Bristol are world class in philosophy of mathematics (they have a Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics degree) if that is what you mean by foundations. I am also told Manchester are very strong for logic.

I'm sorry I don't know how a 3.00/4.00 translate to UK or Dutch requirements but their websites should help you out.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
