Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology: University of Oxford

Psychology, Philosophy and Physiology (PPP)

PPP allows you to study thought and behaviour from the perspectives of psychology, physiology and philosophy. Psychology includes subjects as diverse as social interaction, learning, child development, schizophrenia and information processing. Physiology examines the functional organisation of the mammalian and human brain and body from the molecular level to that of the whole organism. Philosophy is concerned with a wide range of questions including, ethics, knowledge and the nature of mind.

PPP at Oxford

PPP at Oxford is an extremely flexible course, offering a wide range of choices within each of the three branches. Students concentrate on two branches of the PPP degree, although the course gives you the opportunity to study aspects of all three.

Psychology at Oxford is essentially a scientific discipline, involving the rigorous formulation and testing of ideas.
Philosophy at Oxford has active interests in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of science, and has very close links with those working in neuroscience and psychology.
