About this course
You’ll develop a set of transferable intellectual skills that will promote independent thinking, improve your ability to produce rational arguments and become better at weighing up evidence. A-Level Philosophy explores some of the big questions concerning reality and existence.
This A-level builds on the course content of GCSE, although it is not necessary to have this qualification before undertaking this A-level.
Upon successful completion of this home learning course, you will receive an A-Level in Philosophy, issued by AQA. This syllabus has been chosen specifically because it is the best suited to distance learning. Your certificate is identical to that issued to students at any other school, college or university.
