Why AQA AS and A-level Philosophy?

We’re currently the only exam board offering AS and A-level Philosophy. Philosophy is about rigorous, logical arguments and our qualifications have been designed to give students a thorough grounding in the key concepts and methods of philosophy. Students will have the opportunity to engage with big questions in a purely secular context.

Students will develop the skills they need for higher education. They are clear and precise in their thinking and writing, constructing and defending their own arguments robustly. They can engage with complex texts, analysing and evaluating the arguments of others.
