Pupils will work through PowerPoint presentations which are delivered by staff and which involve tasks for completion. There will be discussion about the issues raised which will be supported by material drawn from several media sources including the Internet and DVDs. There will also be several opportunities for research by the students, whilst small group sessions involving past paper study and essay writing skills will work towards the exam paper preparation. Students will need to read and become familiar with key philosophical texts as well as philosophical vocabulary. Students of philosophy will develop and refine a range of transferable skills, such as the ability to ask penetrating questions, to analyse and evaluate the arguments of others and to present their arguments clearly and logically in written and oral format. It should, therefore, equip students well in any other field of study. Careers followed by those with a philosophical background are widely varied. Examples include politics, marketing, journalism, PR, advertising, medical services, social work, counselling and psychotherapy, the police, broadcasting publishing and education to name a few.
