Program overview
Logic may sound abstract, but it's actually very practical—it teaches you "how to think without going astray." Core courses include formal logic, informal logic, mathematical logic, philosophy of logic, argumentation theory, and more. You'll learn to identify flaws in arguments, build rigorous chains of reasoning, and even express complex ideas using symbolic language. It's perfect for students who love asking "why," are sensitive to the structure of language and thought, and aren't satisfied with surface-level answers. In Chinese universities, logic programs are usually housed within philosophy departments. Schools like Peking University, Sun Yat-sen University, and Fudan University have strong faculty and research traditions, especially in interdisciplinary areas like logic and cognitive science, and legal logic. If you're also interested in mathematics, computer science, or linguistics, logic will help you discover the deep connections between them.
