The crossroads of arts and science

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.
