When I was in Further Education College doing my various certificates and qualifications in Computer Science I was really drawn towards Psychology and Philosophy. So much so that I started reading about them, and almost did a joint degree in Software Engineering and Psychology (instead I did Software Engineering and Intelligent Systems at Oxford Brookes). In fact, after my undergraduate degree I was drawn to the masters in “Mind, Brain and Learning” at Oxford Brookes University.
This phase has come and gone several times since, often incorporating Religion in to the mix too. Well this phase has come back to me, and even stronger than before. I would love to do one of the Online Philosophy Courses at Oxford University, but probably shouldn’t due to a lack of money. The “Philosophy of the Mind” and the “Theory of Knowledge” courses particularly interest me.
I should imagine that I’ll be getting a big dose of philosophy and psychology in the Masters degree which I shall be starting this October (in Machine Learning and Data Mining, at Bristol University). I am really looking forward to it, and seeing if I can apply the philosophies and technologies which I learn about to the semantic web & future web (Web 3.0+) and vice versa.
