Theology is the systematic and rational study of religious truth. The Christian Theology Department aims for academic excellence, demanding disciplined study, critical reflection and analysis of perceptions, opinions, values and beliefs. We aim to ensure that students are philosophically, religiously, morally and socially aware and have developed the ability to listen to other peoples’ points of view, even if they conflict with their own. We aim to foster free thinking, open debate and a genuine love of learning. An open mind is essential.
In general, we request a minimum of 3 Grade 6s and 2 Grade 5s. A GCSE 6 grade in Religious Studies is desirable, though it is recognised that several Sixth Form entrants have not had the opportunity of studying Religious Studies at GCSE, therefore GCSE Religious Studies is not a pre-requisite.
Three 2-hour exams.
