We also support interdisciplinary study:

* Philosophy also runs the Centre for Reasoning which offers interdisciplinary teaching and research on topics related to reasoning and inference.
We hold four, six-week staff-student research seminars in philosophy every Wednesdays 1-3 during term time. There is also a self-run graduate student seminar that meets regularly throughout the year.
