The track that best aligns with my interests in the M.Sc. Logic (UvA) is the Math Track. I plan to take all four compulsory courses during my 5th and 6th semesters:
- Introduction to Modal Logic (Lecture)
- Proof Theory (Lecture)
- Rudiments in Set Theory (Lecture)
- Model Theory bis (Lecture)
However, officially pursuing this track would require counting these courses towards the final curriculum (outlined in the Spreadsheet: MoL Marks), which might not be the most strategic choice. Instead, I plan to also take:
Since I already have an 8.5 for the first course and can easily take the second during my 6th Semester, this approach would allow me to officially complete both the Logic & Mathematics track and the Logic & Language track, while giving bureaucratic priority to the latter. This way, I would not be required to include all four math courses in the final transcript.
This strategy may not affect my PhD Applications in the US, as I am already applying for them now [01.01.2025], but it might influence my PhD Applications in the EU & UK.
