Course summary

A level of Religious Studies is a wonderful course to study in its own right as well as a brilliant subject to bring balance to your selection of subjects. It asks the ultimate questions! Why are we here? How was the universe created? Is euthanasia right or wrong? Do miracles happen? Is Jesus the Son of God? You will study the great philosophers and their theories about how humans should live. Its skills of critical evaluation of the opinions/beliefs of others are widely respected in so many areas of higher education study and in so many professional arenas too. It can lead to a study of Theology at university, those who study Law respect its focus on right and wrong and those in the caring professions value its emphasis on real people and how they live. Note: This course cannot be studied alongside A Level Philosophy
