General Studies is suitable for all students. It requires a curiosity about the world we live in, and a willingness to engage in debate and discussion. The course will help students develop the ability to think independently and to recognise false arguments. Students explore three areas: science, culture and society and will use thinking and analytical skills, helping them to recognise the difference between knowledge, truth and belief, understanding the different ways we can use argument and apply mathematical reasoning. The qualification is an excellent preparation for both employment and higher education, where a range of problems and conflicting ideas has to be considered and worked through.
