Philosophy is thinking about life’s big questions. It’s about being an intellectual detective. If you’ve ever wondered how we know what’s real, where ideas of right and wrong come from and where we are going, then you’ve already started the journey. This is the next step, where you have the opportunity to engage with significant concepts in a non-religious context. A Level Philosophy will help you develop these skills: • Being clear and precise in your thinking and writing. • Engaging with complex texts. • Constructing and defending your own philosophical arguments. • Analysing and evaluating the arguments of yourself and others. You will study theories of knowledge, moral philosophy, the nature of God and whether God exists, and the nature of our minds. Philosophy is highly valued in many careers, including education, medicine, law and more! In fact, philosophical skills can help in all jobs and are used in almost every area of life. Philosophy can be studied at university on its own or with various other subjects.
- Grade 4 or above in GCSE Religious Studies or GCSE English. - General entry requirement: 5 GCSEs grade 4+ including Maths and English
