You want to study logic. You enjoy an interdisciplinary approach to
research. You like to meet people from all over the world, join the

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN LOGIC

in Amsterdam. The MSc in Logic is truly interdisciplinary, international
and individual:

  (*) it combines mathematics, computer science, linguistics and philosophy
to give a broad view of logic,

  (*) its students come from all continents and many different countries,

  (*) and the course programme of each student is individually picked by
the student and his or her mentor under consideration of strengths,
weaknesses and interests of the student out of a total of over 40 courses.

   The MSc in Logic covers the traditions of logic as well as the modern 
view of logic as the study of encoding, transmission and comprehension of 
information in natural, artificial and formal languages, providing a wide 
range of applications in modern information society. Within two years, the 
MSc leads to a highly respected research degree that opens the doors to 
academic research at the highest level. Most of our graduates continue to 
get a PhD in logic or a related field.

   Interested students with a BSc or BA in a relevant field (for example, 
mathematics, computer science, philosophy, linguistics, but also many 
others) should apply. Candidates who took courses at the graduate (MSc or 
PhD) level may apply for waivers and could finish the MSc in Logic in 
three semesters or one year ("fast track").

   There is a number of grant programmes that students can apply to: the 
national HSP programme (Huygens Scholarship Programme), the Amsterdam 
Merit Scholarships for non-European students at the University of 
Amsterdam, or the Beth Scholarship specially focused on logic students.

Deadlines for applications (for the academic year starting September 1, 
2009) are:

    January 5, 2009      if you wish to apply for the HSP scholarship
    February 1, 2009     for non-European students
    April 1, 2009        for students from EU countries

We accept applications after the deadline, but cannot guarantee student
housing and/or a timely visa application procedure in this case.
