Philosophy is a highly valued A Level that develops students’ abilities in the use of rational argument and logical thinking. As well as helping you become a critical thinker and allow you to ponder on life’s big questions, the course provides an excellent grounding for the study of any academic discipline at university. As an A-Level philosopher, you will be grappling with questions that many people take for granted. What is knowledge? What is reality? What is morality? What is beauty? The skills used in Philosophy (clear thinking and strong ability to read, interpret and argue your case) are very desirable to employers and university admissions tutors in all subjects.
