Students will study a combination of philosophy, ethics and religion throughout Years 12 and 13, giving them an understanding of a diverse range of philosophical and ethical viewpoints, as well as an in-depth knowledge of one religion. The course allows students to apply religious views to the world around them, for example in the contexts of gender, sexuality and science while also allowing students to think deeply about big philosophical and ethical questions, and have fantastic discussions!

Entry requirements
