Would you do something bad to achieve something good? Are humans born with an orientation towards good or evil? Are there some actions that are always wrong? How would you respond to a friend who tells you that she/he had a vision of God? Do humans have a soul? Is there such a thing as ‘sin’? Is gender still relevant in today’s society? Can a male saviour save women? These are some of the questions you will wrestle with at A Level in RS. The study of Philosophy and Ethics is an exciting and inspiring academic subject, rooted in the ancient Greek philosophy which arguably formed the basis of western thought.
A minimum of five full GCSEs or equivalent at grades 9–5, which would include Mathematics, with three of the passes at a grade 6 or above to include English Language and (if taken) Religious Studies.
Exams are sat at the end of the two-year course. Each of the components has a 2-hour examination at the end of Year 13. The papers carry equal weight, 33% of the marks. Questions are essay-style and worth 40 marks each. Each paper is out of 120 marks.
