Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics is the fastest growing subject at AS and A Level in the country. Philosophy is one of the oldest academic subjects in the world and asks questions like; ‘Does God Exist?’, ‘What is life after death?’, ‘Why does God allow evil and suffering?’,‘ Are we truly free?’ and ‘What is moral behavior?’ Ethics examines how we should behave. ‘Do our morals come from God, society or our parents?’, ‘Are some issues always wrong no matter which time and culture, or are moral standards just subject to change?’ We will look at ethical systems such as Utilitarianism and the Kantian Categorical Imperative which will enable us to draw conclusions about issues of euthanasia, abortion and genetic engineering. An introduction to the Study of Religion will focus on one major world faith and give students a deep understanding of its history, religious figures, practices and customs.
To study A Levels you need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5+.
