Logic is a theoretical programme which relies on mathematical methods and which can be applied in mathematics, computation and specific fields of philosophy. Logic has also connections to linguistics and law theory. In general, graduates can be employed in all areas which deal with formal and quantitative methods and rely on critical analysis of problems, often in formalized environments (software or legal companies, government or educational institutions). Graduates can continue in a doctoral programme (PhD) in logic.
