What the college says
The A Levels for this academic year are changing, the information below is only indicative of the kind of content included in RS specifications. We will keep the new A Level choice philosophically centred and there will be lots of opportunity to develop the same transferable skills. The current OCR Philosophy and Ethics Religious Studies Course is intellectually rigorous, valued by Universities, and is a good way to develop transferable skills (understanding, analysis, communication, reflection). Studying Philosophy and Ethics at A Level will help you to be open-minded and able to understand, explain and discuss theories about ultimately unanswerable questions. You will learn to communicate your ideas in a clear and logical way. You will develop your argument and counter argument skills. The topics we study are also interesting and enjoyable.
