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.

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
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...
