A Level Religious Studies
at Denmark Road High School · school or sixth form
What the college says
Studying the Subject - Philosophy and Ethics is challenging, open-ended and discursive. It is for students, who value the opportunity to explore in depth real issues concerning human life and existence. At AS Level, we look at the foundations of Philosophy, together with arguments for and against the existence of God. We also look at ethical theory, abortion, euthanasia, genetic engineering and war and peace. At A2 Level, we continue with philosophical thought by studying religious experience, the nature of God, life after death and religious language, and environmental, business and sexual ethics.
