Overview

What is right and wrong? Does God exist? What is the mind? A-Level Philosophy will challenge you to think deeply about some of life’s most profound questions, as you investigate and debate them. You’ll learn how to be open-minded, think independently, and weigh up evidence on both sides of an argument. Through the exploration of key ideas that have challenged philosophers for centuries, this AQA A-Level Philosophy course will introduce you to key ideas from some of the greatest minds to have contributed to Western thinking.

Who should study A-Level Philosophy?

Ideal for anyone looking to pursue a career in teaching, advertising, law, or any other profession which values logical thinking and analytical skills, on this online philosophy course, you’ll look at authors such as Descartes and Locke, examining the metaphysics of God and the mind. Moving on, you’ll question the concept of an omniscient and omnipotent creator, as well as the challenging concept of free will.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
