Do you enjoy looking for answers to the biggest questions in our universe? Do you have an interest in debating, discussion and questioning? Do you like to be challenged in your thinking processes? If the answer to these questions is yes, then choose Philosophy and Ethics. The main aim of the course is to develop your mind and teach you to think as an individual. Philosophy and Ethics is a dynamic subject; it is taught by a department that aims for teaching that is both challenging and engaging. Lessons are interactive and include debates and discussions. You will be able to think and talk about key concepts and ideas, whilst understanding the skills required to produce high-quality essays. Where will it lead? Philosophy is about giving you the skills to analyse and evaluate arguments and to express your own views clearly and coherently. By investigating a range of world views you can see more clearly how you want to fit into that world. Philosophy and Ethics is viewed by universities and the work place as a highly academic and challenging subject that produces students who have strong debating, research and analytical skills. Philosophy and Ethics can lead to a range of careers, including journalism, law, finance, insurance, stockbroking, accountancy, politics, NHS administration, school teaching, local government, social work, television and radio. The reason for this variety is partly because of what the subject teaches -knowledge of the way humans think, act, make decisions, and create belief systems, and this is useful to any career involving people.
