The study of Philosophy and Ethics at A Level will challenge things you take for granted: How do we know right from wrong? Are some things genuinely evil or is it just opinion? Does God exist? And would it matter if she did? Do humans have souls? Or are we just bundles of self-important chemicals? Are we free to make moral decisions? Is science the only route to true knowledge? Questions like these have fascinated some of the great minds over the last three thousand years; we will explore some of their answers and equip you to draw your conclusions. Philosophy and Ethics A Level is academically rigorous and involves a study of philosophical, theological and ethical theories that underpin and structure our world today. An understanding of these ideas is essential to an informed and nuanced engagement with key themes in politics, law, medicine, education, human rights and religion. Students will develop the ability to formulate and structure an argument, identify and draw out weaknesses and express subtle views with clarity and precision. These are highly valued skills at university level in any degree.
Candidates will need a minimum of six Grade 6s or above at GCSE and will preferably have Grade 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study at A Level. Students wishing to study Mathematics will require a Grade 8 or 9. For Biology or English Grade 7 will be required. We will also require a minimum of Grade 5 in both English and Mathematics. Where a subject is new at A Level, students will be required to achieve Grade 7 or Grade 6 in related subjects, reflecting the skills required for success in these courses. We require students to have a grade B or above in GCSE English.
