Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil) in Philosophy of Physics

Our Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil) in Philosophy of Physics engages with the conceptual and metaphysical issues underlying modern physical theories. This program critically examines topics such as quantum mechanics, spacetime, thermodynamics, and cosmology from a philosophical standpoint. Students are encouraged to question the foundations and interpretations of physical laws, exploring how physics informs our understanding of reality. With training in public writing, law, and research, students will develop skills applicable in both academic and policy settings. The program culminates in a dissertation that contributes to the philosophical interpretation of physical science, equipping graduates for careers in academia, science communication, and policy.
