Philosophy is about questioning everything in the attempt to find certain truth and understand our experiences of the world. It is about constructing an argument with no holes in it and looking for flaws in the arguments of others. Philosophy is a subject unlike any other and it's not what most people expect. The course was not created just so that people could study it; it is an activity and a way of thinking more than a set of things to learn. Philosophy will make you question every assumption you ever made. It will make you look at the world more rationally and spot when people are using poor logic. It will make you very difficult to beat in an argument, set you up for any profession, and goes well with all A level choices.
A minimum of either grade 6 (B) in English Language or grade 6 (B) in English Literature at GCSE is essential to take this course. Entry is dependent upon performance in the interview and a satisfactory reference, including GCSE/IGSCE predicted grades where relevant. Candidates will also be required to sit a computer based verbal and non-verbal reasoning assessment. For candidates outside of the UK we may also require the Ukiset test to be sat prior to interview.
