The first strand, Philosophy of Religion, involves the study of Ancient Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, arguments for the existence of God, challenges to religious belief, and claims to religious experience. The second strand, Ethics, focusses on questions relating to moral decision-making, the nature of ethical language, and applied issues including euthanasia and business ethics. The final strand of the course provides the opportunity for in-depth study of one religion (either Buddhism or Christianity), with coverage of key religious figures, sacred texts, religious life, social and historical developments, and religious identity. The overarching aim of this course is to help students develop the ability to think critically and creatively, to write excellent essays and conduct effective research, alongside the ability to engage in intellectual discourse confidently and effectively. Comments from former students give a good idea of the appeal of Philosophy, Ethics & Religion: “I’ve enjoyed examining the whole question of right and wrong. When people say that you shouldn’t use genetic engineering how do they know?” “It’s a subject that teaches you to analyse and to argue. It goes brilliantly with my other subjects, Psychology, Sociology and English.” Where does this A Level Philosophy, Ethics & Religion course lead? The A Level qualification you will gain has a long pedigree and is a highly respected subject. A better question might be: What can’t I do with it? Employers and universities know that this subject teaches people to think clearly and to express themselves coherently. In conclusion, the skills that you will develop in analysis and argument are valuable in a range of careers. For example, former students are accountants, personnel officers, solicitors, criminal psychologists, speech therapists, nurses, teachers and too many more to mention. Course Entry Requirements Grade 5 in Religious Studies (if studied) and a grade 5 in either GCSE English Language or English Literature.

I’m satisfied will all my A Level subjects, particularly the PER course. It offers a wide variety of topics that allow you to develop an insight into our diverse world. The different aspects of the course give you a wide range of skills that are transferable to all subjects. In particular, the course improves your ability to think abstractly and enables you to make rational decisions, which are important skills. The staff are extremely supportive and make the lessons engaging. There are also many extracurricular activities offered in which to develop your skills as well as make new friendships. Overall, the course has improved my academic and sociological development immensely. When I leave college, I wish to attend the University of St Andrews to study Philosophy and Psychology.
