The course is made up on Philosophy, Ethics, and Christianity and is suitable for atheist, agnostic and believer alike. We are about the academic study of religion and morality. Students thrive upon discussion and projects surrounding both human and animal ethics. We stretch our minds, asking why a loving God would allow suffering? Are there such things as miracles? If there is life after death, what form would it take? We study how Christianity responds to issues of gender and sexuality, scientific discovery and growing secularisation. This very popular A Level is for thinkers and those who enjoy grappling with questions where the answers may be far from reach. We take our studies out of school to lectures and workshops.
Grade 6 or above in GCSE English is preferable. It is not necessary to have taken Religion, Ethics & Philosophy at GCSE, though it is advantageous.
Component 1: 3 hours written exam worth 100 marks (50% of A Level). Component 2: 3 hours written exam worth 100 marks (50% of A Level). Both exams are taken at the end of the second year of the course.
