Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (PPL)
undergraduates
Students of this interdisciplinary degree apply to study any two of its three component subjects. St Edmund Hall admits students who apply to study Psychology and Philosophy.
As a PPL student at St Edmund Hall, you will be a member of both one of the leading psychology departments in the UK and the largest philosophy faculty in the country. The Oxford Philosophy Faculty has a strong research profile in the philosophy of mind and science, and a close relationship with neuroscience and psychology. This makes Oxford an excellent choice for those who wish to study these complementary subjects in combination. Graduates progress to a variety of careers. They are eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society, if they study sufficient psychology and achieve Second Class Honours.
I have been encouraged to develop a very wide range of skills – statistical analysis, essay writing, scientific reasoning and understanding – so I feel equipped to go in almost any direction in the future.
