Your philosophical journey will focus on four key areas of philosophy. We begin with epistemology, the study of knowledge, where we ask questions regarding what we know, how we know it and the limits of knowledge. We then move on to the study of ethics, where we consider how we can distinguish right from wrong action and the concept of goodness. In the second year your study will continue with a study of the metaphysics of the mind, delving into the nature of, and relations between, mind and body. Alongside this study you will also explore the metaphysics of God, exploring the existence of God, and the nature of divinity.
Acceptance into the Sixth Form is conditional upon the applicant’s meeting the entrance requirements of the School. For those taking GCSE or IGCSE, the expectation is for a minimum of six 9-4 grades (equivalent to A* – C in the old grading system) including Mathematics and English, preferably with at least a grade 6/7 in the subjects to be studied at A-level. Under normal circumstances, a place will be offered following an interview and the receipt of a satisfactory report from the Head of the applicant’s present school.
At the end of the second year of the course you will sit two 3- hour examinations, assessing your ability to recall and evaluate the arguments and ideas covered throughout the four topics.
