What the college says

The A level in Philosophy and Ethics explores a range of philosophical and ethical issues, concepts and debates. These include exploration of philosophical questions such as how far it is possible to prove or disprove the existence of God and the challenges posed by evil and suffering in the world. It will also consider the nature of the self and what this might mean for any life after death. The ethical aspect involves understanding differing approaches as to how we can decide on what constitutes right or wrong actions. The specific issues explored are medical ethics, including euthanasia and genetic engineering, as well as our approach to non-human animals.
