Why should I choose this subject? • It is preparation for highly academic subjects at university. • It explores reasons why people disagree about emotive subjects. • It develops informed opinions on topics that are constantly in the news like religious conflicts, euthanasia and war. • It develops understanding of the views, opinions and beliefs of others. Any career working with people where understanding the beliefs and views of others is essential; for example the police, social work, law, medicine, teaching and the media. Graduates of Theology/ Philosophy/ Religious Studies degrees have been as diverse as Ricky Gervais to Matt Groening.
First choice will be given to pupils with Grade 6 or above in Religious Studies. However, pupils with Grade 5 will be considered depending on numbers. Students who haven’t taken Religious Studies to GCSE level will still be welcome, but would be expected to have gained Grade 5 or above in English.
This is 100% exam. Each section has its own paper. Students of every faith and none are encouraged to discuss their views in a safe and respectful environment. Students will never be assessed or judged on what they believe, but on how well they have justified and considered their own personal view with reference to the evidence they have analysed.
