Ethics and Philosophy of Religion challenges you to consider the basic questions of our existence: Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Is there anything beyond? As such it goes far deeper than a school subject and helps to prepare you for life in general. A Level Religious Studies: Ethics and Philosophy of Religion can lead directly on to further study at university, in the areas of Theology or Philosophy; as a fully academic subject it is recognised as a complementary discipline to many degree courses in both the arts and sciences. Knowledge of religious, moral and philosophical issues is a great benefit in a wide range of careers and professions.
The standard entry requirement for students entering Sixth Form is 6 GCSEs at grade 5 or above with a grade 7 or above in the subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies that have not been studied previously, should show proficiency in similar subjects. Entry is at the discretion of the Headmaster. It is not necessary to have studied, or have gained a grade at GCSE Religious Studies to study at A Level. What is required is an ability to challenge accepted theories, to think independently and to present information and ideas in a logical and coherent manner.
All of the components are assessed through an externally examined paper in June.
