6 Philosophy, Ethics & Theology (Religious Studies) A Level This course aims to engage learners and develop an interest in Philosophy, Ethics and Theology, which extends beyond the classroom and can be applied to the world in which we live. It is an interesting and challenging course, which allows you to explore some of life’s big questions: Does God exist? What does it mean to be moral? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? You will develop skills of critical analysis in order to construct balanced, informed arguments and responses to religious, philosophical and ethical ideas. If you are interested in debating and have an open mind then this course is right for you. It builds on Religious Studies GCSE but goes into much greater depth, focusing more on scholars and philosophy of religion and ethical theories rather than just a religious application.

There will be three two-hour exams which will include shorter knowledge and understanding questions and extended analytical and evaluative writing.
