yes you have to take it withre with it unless you went to university and started on a foundation course which would take a year then you could study philosophy on its own. I took it with ethics first which was quite hard so i changed ethcis to hinduism int he second year which is much easier as it's just about ghandi and people like that. You will find it really interesting i recommendstudying philosophy toeveryone it gives greater insights into questions about life and stuff Good luck
