RELIGION, ETHICS & PHILOSOPHY
A Level
STUDENT VOICE
Why study Religion, Ethics & Philosophy?
Do you want to study an A Level that will stretch your
mind, introduce you to great thinkers and give you a
qualification respected throughout higher education?
Do you enjoy debating the big issues such as whether
God exists? This course is for students who value the
opportunity to explore issues concerning human life
and existence.
What's covered?
The course explores three main areas of study: Ethics,
Philosophy and Christianity. You will therefore gain
an understanding of a wide variety of approaches to
understanding the world around us. Beliefs and values
are discussed critically and reflectively. You will be
assessed by three examinations after two years of study.
Future Opportunities
Students who have a qualification in Religion, Ethics and
Philosophy can move into a wide variety of professions,
as the skills that you will develop in analysis and
argument are transferable and are valuable in a range of
careers. Many students progress into careers within the
civil service, teaching, journalism, nursing and law.

“The smaller class sizes and less crowded atmosphere
was one of the largest contributors in my decision
to attend B6. I really enjoyed studying Maths and
Chemistry because of the teaching styles of the
teachers and the structure of the lessons. I would
100% recommend Maths to any new students. When I
leave The Sixth Form I am hoping to study Maths and
Philosophy at the University of Manchester.”
