Logic is traditionally defined as the study of formal aspects of valid reasoning, but today many logicians see logic as a more general study of formal systems and their applications. The conceptual frameworks and tools developed by pure research in modern logic have found many applications in diverse disciplines studying formal languages and systems, e.g., software engineering and computational linguistics.



As an academic subject logic is genuinely interdisciplinary and located on the border between Philosophy, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Linguistics. The exchange is active and mutually beneficial. Logic is nowadays an active international area of study and research also in mathematics, computer science, and linguistics.

An international program where you can choose between five different tracks - each of them corresponding to internationally recognized research at our department.

Computer science (CS) is the study of the theory of information and computation and its implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as computer graphics), while others (such as the theory of algorithms) relate to properties of computational problems. Still, others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approach to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems. ...
