You can expect to have lessons that are personal and tailored to your needs. This highly prized subject will teach you how to write critically as you learn to evaluate and critique a wide range of classical philosophical thought, applied ethics and develop an understanding and appreciation of religious thought and its contribution to individuals, communities and societies. This enquiring, critical and reflective approach will not only develop your own understanding and knowledge but will help you to explore your personal values, opinions and attitudes. All learners will study three components; Philosophy of religion (01), Religion and ethics (02) and Developments in religious thought. In Philosophy of religion learners will study philosophical issues and questions raised by religion and belief. These include arguments regarding the existence or non-existence of God, the nature and influence of religious experience and the problems of evil and suffering. They will also explore philosophical language and thought, through significant concepts and the works of key thinkers, illustrated in issues or debates in the philosophy of religion. Religion and ethics is characterised by the study of ethical language and thought, with exploration of key concepts and the works of influential thinkers. Ethical theory will also be applied to issues of importance; namely euthanasia, business ethics, and sexual ethics. Developments in religious thought provides an opportunity for the systematic study of one religious tradition. This will include the exploration of religious beliefs, values, teachings and practices that shape religious identity, as well as sources of wisdom and authority. Also central are the ways in which religious traditions have developed over time, and religious responses to challenges and significant contemporary social issues.
Our general entry requirements are that you need 5 Grade 6s in your GCSEs to study A Levels. One of these grade 6s should be in a humanities subject or English Language.
A-Level Philosophy, Ethics & the development of Christian Thought will be assessed through three examinations in which you will write extended essays expressing your own opinions and beliefs on the topics you have studied. You will be awarded one overall grade at the end of the course.
