Critical Thinking is a multidisciplinary subject dealing with the analysis and formulation of arguments. Put simply, it provides a methodological approach to asking “why should I believe you” or “why should you believe me?”. It helps with the detection of weak arguments, fake news, and mind manipulation through rhetorical devices and propaganda, thereby protecting you from false beliefs. From politics, news and religion, Critical Thinking provides a set of tools to question the truth of claims and evidence. Focusing on the delivery of clear language and concise arguments, it is of value to anyone needing to write essays or professional reports.   This course complements The Psychology of Reasoning (W35Pm28) but can be taken independently.

This course aims to:

• explain the basic principles involved in critical thinking processes making you familiar with the principles underlying different types of good reasoning as well as common mistakes in reasoning  
• prepare you to understand the concept of truth, and how to assess information, for example, how to identify conspiracy theories and fake news  
• show how rhetorical devices and propaganda are used to influence manipulate public opinion

Employers, universities and the media, all claim that there is a lack of critical thinking skills and students and the public in general should be equipped with reasoning tools that protect them from scams and help them to assess fake news and conspiracy theories to make better decisions. The call for better critical thinking is widespread, but without appropriate training people do not know what critical thinking skills are. There are as many definitions of critical thinking as there are authors. Each definition depends on the academic background of the author. Philosophers would define it differently to psychologists, scientists will interpret it differently to lawyers. Each professional group would emphasise different aspects of critical thinking, but common to all of them is the purpose to determine whether the received information is true. In simple terms, critical thinking consists of a set of intellectual tools, rules and techniques with the aim of ascertaining what is true and whether you want to believe in it.

Critical thinking provides a set of tools to answer the question, “Why should I believe you?” and help in the formulation of arguments “How am I going to get you to believe me?”

Although some critical thinking ability may be developed inside the framework of particular specialities, usually the approach is limited to the subject matter and leaves out skills necessary to apply in daily life. 

Presentation of the course  

This course provides a light approach to the main topics in Critical Thinking. It includes lectures and discussions which aim to apply the theory delivered in the lectures.

Course sessions

• The meaning of truth  How do you decide whether the information you receive is true?  
• Arguments What is the difference between an argument and an opinion? Should all opinions be respected?  
• Understanding the differences between inductive and deductive reasoning Deduction is mainly based on formal logic. The ability to think logically, supports the strength of arguments. Induction depends on the quality of the evidence. You will learn about the different aspects of deductive and inductive arguments.  
• Language in Critical Thinking You will learn about the use of rhetorical devices, propaganda and other methods used to influence your opinions.  
• Analysis and assessment of arguments Methods to help you whether to accept or reject the arguments presented to you. It also helps you to build a strong argument.

Learning outcomes

You are expected to gain from this series of classroom sessions a greater understanding of the subject and of the core issues and arguments central to the course. 

The learning outcomes for this course are:

• development of the capacity for independent thought, analysis and critical reasoning  
• to analyse and evaluate arguments and  identify most common fallacies  
• to understand the uses of language and rhetoric in social manipulation

Required reading

There are no compulsory readings for this course. However, you may find the below recommended reading list of interest to supplement your course.

There are many books on critical thinking and reading suggestions for each particular subject will be delivered during the course. However, printed materials which support each lesson theme will be delivered since the course doesn’t follow any particular core book. 

During the course you will be provided materials for critical analysis by the class. These materials can be news clips, information from social networks or advertising. You will be invited to assess whether to believe or refute the arguments or information presented in such materials.  

Typical week: Monday to Friday 

Courses run from Monday to Friday. For each week of study, you select a morning (Am) course and an afternoon (Pm) course. The maximum class size is 25 students.   

Courses are complemented by a series of daily plenary lectures, exploring new ideas in a wide range of disciplines. To add to your learning experience, we are also planning additional evening talks and events. 

Evaluation and Academic Credit  

If you are seeking to enhance your own study experience, or earn academic credit from your Cambridge Summer Programme studies at your home institution, you can submit written work for assessment for one or more of your courses.  

Essay questions are set and assessed against the University of Cambridge standard by your Course Director, a list of essay questions can be found in the Course Materials. Essays are submitted two weeks after the end of each course, so those studying for multiple weeks need to plan their time accordingly. There is an evaluation fee of £75 per essay.

Have Some Questions?

Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our critical thinking and problem solving training course:

Who delivers your critical thinking and problem solving training courses?

We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily bases and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.

What is the difference between problem solving and critical thinking?

Critical thinking is gathering, understanding, and conceptualising data and information to understand why something may have occurred. You can use a range of different tools to do this. Put simply, critical thinking is fact gathering and problem-solving is how to use this information to put right an issue that exists

What level is the course pitched at?

The course aims to provide a solid grounding for anyone who is new to critical thinking and problem solving, so not too simplistic. It will also be a great refresh for those who have done this for a while.

Is there a practical element?

Yes. There are a number of different exercises that we’ve designed and implemented to try out the problem solving and critical thinking tools.

This online Critical Thinking training course will provide participants with the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information which will give an incredible boost in performance.

Why is this Critical Thinking training course essential?

Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgment. The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, sceptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence.

Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective reflection. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities as well as a commitment to overcome native egocentrism and sociocentrism.

Critical thinking

Advice and resources to help you develop your critical voice.

Developing critical thinking skills is essential to your success at University and beyond.  We all need to be critical thinkers to help us navigate our way through an information-rich world. 

Whatever your discipline, you will engage with a wide variety of sources of information and evidence.  You will develop the skills to make judgements about this evidence to form your own views and to present your views clearly.

One of the most common types of feedback received by students is that their work is ‘too descriptive’.  This usually means that they have just stated what others have said and have not reflected critically on the material.  They have not evaluated the evidence and constructed an argument.

What is critical thinking?

Critical thinking is the art of making clear, reasoned judgements based on interpreting, understanding, applying and synthesising evidence gathered from observation, reading and experimentation. Burns, T., & Sinfield, S. (2016)  Essential Study Skills: The Complete Guide to Success at University (4th ed.) London: SAGE, p94.

Being critical does not just mean finding fault.  It means assessing evidence from a variety of sources and making reasoned conclusions.  As a result of your analysis you may decide that a particular piece of evidence is not robust, or that you disagree with the conclusion, but you should be able to state why you have come to this view and incorporate this into a bigger picture of the literature.

Being critical goes beyond describing what you have heard in lectures or what you have read.  It involves synthesising, analysing and evaluating what you have learned to develop your own argument or position.

Critical thinking is important in all subjects and disciplines – in science and engineering, as well as the arts and humanities.  The types of evidence used to develop arguments may be very different but the processes and techniques are similar.  Critical thinking is required for both undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study.

What, where, when, who, why, how?

Purposeful reading can help with critical thinking because it encourages you to read actively rather than passively.  When you read, ask yourself questions about what you are reading and make notes to record your views.  Ask questions like:

• What is the main point of this paper/ article/ paragraph/ report/ blog?
• Who wrote it?
• Why was it written?
• When was it written?
• Has the context changed since it was written?
• Is the evidence presented robust?
• How did the authors come to their conclusions?
• Do you agree with the conclusions?
• What does this add to our knowledge?
• Why is it useful?

Our web page covering Reading at university includes a handout to help you develop your own critical reading form and a suggested reading notes record sheet.  These resources will help you record your thoughts after you read, which will help you to construct your argument. 

Reading at university

Developing an argument

Being a university student is about learning how to think, not what to think.  Critical thinking shapes your own values and attitudes through a process of deliberating, debating and persuasion.   Through developing your critical thinking you can move on from simply disagreeing to constructively assessing alternatives by building on doubts.

There are several key stages involved in developing your ideas and constructing an argument.  You might like to use a form to help you think about the features of critical thinking and to break down the stages of developing your argument.

Features of critical thinking (pdf)

Features of critical thinking (Word rtf)

Our webpage on Academic writing includes a useful handout ‘Building an argument as you go’.

Academic writing

You should also consider the language you will use to introduce a range of viewpoints and to evaluate the various sources of evidence.  This will help your reader to follow your argument.  To get you started, the University of Manchester's Academic Phrasebank has a useful section on Being Critical. 

Academic Phrasebank

Developing your critical thinking

Set yourself some tasks to help develop your critical thinking skills.  Discuss material presented in lectures or from resource lists with your peers.  Set up a critical reading group or use an online discussion forum.  Think about a point you would like to make during discussions in tutorials and be prepared to back up your argument with evidence.

This section will look at good and bad arguments and the structure of an argument.

In the second section, we look at practical ways in which staff can use critical thinking to strengthen their arguments and make them more effective. This will include asking questions, getting organised, evaluating and drawing conclusions. 

About this course

Critical thinking is the ability to analyse a specific situation and make a professional judgement. Whether that be an issue that has occurred and needs solving, or a discovery that needs explaining.

The CPD Accredited course provides the user with tips on how to avoid common thinking mistakes that lead to roadblocks when it comes to finding a solution or answer to their issue.

The course is suitable for all levels of staff and will help strengthen your team's ability to tackle unique problems in the workplace.

Course details

Problem solving and critical thinking.

The ability to problem solve and think critically has never been more important. As the speed of decision making and the accuracy of information vary across both personal and organisational life, having the chance to problem solve is difficult. Thinking critically is hugely important to balance longer term consequences with current day action, avoiding the ramifications of poor decision making in an instant. 

Critical Thinking is therefore a vital skill to learn, practice and refresh.

By following a disciplined process, understanding what critical thinking is and why it can be so difficult, this interactive day event will allow you to raise issues or challenges you currently have and use new tools to think these through from an unbiased perspective.

Please note: this event will close to enrolments at 23:59 UTC on 26 February 2025.

Overview overview.

This Certificate in Critical Thinking is CPD accredited and includes 24/7 tutor support and a quiz-based assessment. It also comes with easy-to-understand e-learning study material.

Critical thinking training is needed in the industry, and it will lead to being a more rational and disciplined thinker. Critical Thinking will reduce your prejudice and bias, providing a better understanding of your environment. Critical Thinking Training will give you the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish relevant and irrelevant information.

Nowadays, critical thinking is becoming one of the top skills that every employer looks for in their workplace. However, we live in a digital age where we expect to have all the answers we need at our fingertips 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This constant access to information can sometimes undermine our ability to think critically, as it encourages our reliance on quick searches rather than deep, analytical thinking. This challenge lies in balancing the accessibility of digital resources with the need to develop and apply critical thinking skills. Mainly, employers value those who can synthesise information, evaluate its validity and make informed decisions rather than simply repeating data.

Enhance the knowledge and skills of Critical Thinking through UKPD Academy's Certificate in Critical Thinking. The UKPD Academy has successfully included the Critical Thinking certification program in an online portal. It now offers the candidates a golden opportunity to enrol in the Critical Thinking Training course. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyse and evaluate information to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. This Critical Thinking course provides the best chance of making the correct decision and minimises damages if a mistake does occur.

So, if you are looking for such courses as critical thinking courses, UKPDA offers you a Certificate in Critical Thinking course to fulfil your needs. So what are you waiting for? Enrol in this Criticl Thinking course now and start learning instantly!
