A Level Philosophy, Religion & Ethics

Course summary

The aim of A Level Philosophy, Religion and Ethics is to gain a new way of thinking about big questions that have affected humanity throughout our history. Students are encouraged to analyse logical arguments and develop their critical thinking by challenging premises and offering alternative explanations. Philosophy means the love of wisdom and students will explore the wisdom of philosophers from Socrates to Sartre. Attention is focussed on improving students’ ability to present a coherent and persuasive argument. Students will also have the opportunity to study Christianity in depth, focusing on theological and social developments within the faith. To add to their learning experience we run a trip to Rome.
