Philosophy

Course summary

The A Level specification has been designed to introduce students to the key methods and concepts in philosophy through the study of four broad themes: Epistemology; Philosophy of Religion; Ethics; and Philosophy of Mind. Students 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 own arguments clearly and logically. It is a challenging and rewarding discipline to study, and complements both STEM subjects and humanities. It is very highly regarded by elite universities.
