School of History and Philosophy of Science
Placing science in its historical and social context
,
We examine past and current developments in all areas of science, technology and medicine from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives.
History and philosophy of science (HPS) is an ideal way to engage deeply with science, its changing methods and standards, and its social and cultural significance. Any student with a genuine interest in science will benefit from the critical reflection on it that the school offers.
Our internationally recognised academics have published widely in their fields of expertise, making them fantastic educators and enabling students to be at the forefront of innovations in the field.

Our discipline provides the framework to critically engage with the social and cultural significance of the sciences that shape our world.
Our academics and researchers strive for excellence in the history and philosophy of science.
