Course summary
This course has been designed to enable students to gain a thorough grounding in key philosophical concepts, themes, texts and techniques. Students will develop a range of transferable skills which can be applied far beyond the study of Philosophy.

At AS level, the course concentrates on a number of key philosophical themes, intended to provide students with a broad introduction to Philosophy.

At A2, students will specialise further, selecting two themes to study in depth and focusing on philosophical problems through the study of a key text.

This course allows you to study at your own pace, and is suitable to be studied by all students irrespective of age, creed, religion or gender.
