Course summary

Philosophy and Ethics is exponentially one of the fastest growing A level courses in the UK. This is due to the disciplines that are learned and recognised by many Higher Education institutions, including Medical College, the most acclaimed Universities and employers. This course is for those who enjoy abstract thought and intellectual reasoning. It involves serious thinking of a reflective and critical nature about questions asked by almost every human being at some point in their lives. These questions have to do with the meaning and purpose of life, how we define truth and respond to ultimate questions. To embark on such a course is to ‘do philosophy’. You do not have to be religious to do this course, but do need to be able to accept that some questions can be answered from more than one view point. The Advanced GCE will develop the candidate’s skills of research, interpretation, critical thinking, reasoning, analysis and debate.
