Overview

The Philosophy Diploma Course talks you through the major philosophical schools of thought - Idealism, Materialism, Introspection, Rationalism, Empiricism, Scepticism, Existentialism and Modern Philosophy, and many of the major philosophers throughout time. You’ll look at four different ways to understand philosophy: branch or doctrine, time period, movement, and by a philosopher. For each concept, you’ll learn the philosophical terms used in describing them. The Philosophy Diploma Course first introduces the subject – giving an explanation as to what it is and the benefits you will gain from your studies. From here the course briefly explains each of the main philosophical doctrines and the relationship between Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Religion. It also gives a timeline of major philosophers – pinpointing when each was active, the theories they put forward and their contributions to society. To give clarity straight from the start of the course, a glossary of philosophical terms is included.

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.
