The A Level in Philosophy and Ethics is a two year programme. You will study modules relating to the philosophy of religion and ethics, and the development of Christian thought. You will learn through discussion-based learning alongside essay writing and evaluating challenging and interesting topics, which include questions such as ‘Does God exist?’ ‘Is this world real?’ and ethical dilemmas such as abortion, euthanasia and war.
Please see the specific entry requirements for A Levels at South Devon College: 6 GCSEs at grade 4 (grade C) or above including English and maths. Of these, at least two passes must be at grade 6 or above. Individual subjects may specify which GCSEs are required at grade 6.
Studying A Level Law at South Devon College helped me decide what I wanted to do as a career, and therefore what I wanted to study at university. We benefited hugely from termly trips, and we even shadowed a judge, which gave me a huge insight into what my future career could entail. My teacher, Kay Harding, is excellent, and went above and beyond in helping me revise, improve exam technique and keep me up to date on current legal affairs. She was also great at giving me advice even outside of College time.Callum Priestley
