Philosophy
Students studying A level Philosophy are encouraged to discover truth for themselves and develop the ability to articulate their own worldview. Students explore religious, ethical and existential questions through rational and critical enquiry in Philosophy and by studying the language and concepts people have used to talk about God.
The AQA course in Philosophy offers students the opportunity to gain a thorough grounding in key Western philosophical concepts, themes, ideas and techniques and develop their skills of analysis and reasoning. It also helps students in their own judgements and how to express them coherently, as well as how to contribute to the process of debate. An AS or full A level course in Philosophy will equip students with a set of transferable skills which can be applied successfully to other academic subjects and many theories and arguments they encounter in their everyday lives.
