Course summary

We use the title Religion, Ethics and Philosophy as the A level is divided into these 3 disciplines. This is the A level that follows on from the GCSE you will have possibly studied beforehand. Religion, Ethics and Philosophy permeates all aspects of humanity and culture and has always influenced history, politics, economics, psychology, literature, art and music. This is an exciting, thought-provoking and rigorous subject which allows students to explore and engage with a wide range of disciplines. This dynamic course will nurture an enquiring and critical approach to its study.

Entry requirements

Open to 16 to 18-year-olds, our entry requirements depend on whether your child is a UK or international applicant. Prospective students will be invited to an interview with our Sixth Form Leadership Team. Any student with a proven record of accomplishment of sound skills in Humanities/English is welcome on our A level course, whilst those who took RS GCSE will have the opportunity to take their acquired knowledge to a much higher level. The course will appeal to anyone who has a genuine interest in religious thought and practice, philosophical and ethical perspectives and provides an excellent basis for continued study at university. Most of our students will most likely have studied RS and the GCSE may provide them with a foundation of some of the religious teachings, ideas and terminology. However, the REP A level quickly builds on this from a starting point of assuming no prior knowledge.

How you'll be assessed

The A level is assessed entirely by examinations, comprising the study of the following three elements, each examined at the end of the course by a 2-hour paper: • One of the world’s major religions: Judaism • Religion and Ethics • The Philosophy of Religion
