There are two basic reasons to study Religious Studies. The first and most important reason is for its own sake. If you are at all interested in philosophical issues dealing with the existence of God, the nature of knowledge and the person of Christ as presented in the Bible and with the key issues facing the Christian faith in the modern world then this is the subject for you. We deal with these questions through discussion, research and writing and rigorously test arguments and theories, all of which provides excellent training in the sorting and assessment of ideas; this is the second chief reason for studying Religious Studies.
There are no formal requirements for starting the course but the need to write fluently means that at least a grade 6 in GCSE English is expected. Clearly literary skills are at a premium, and the willingness to read, understand, write clearly and debate issues are highly valued. It is not necessary to have studied GCSE Religious Studies; indeed the A Level syllabus is distinctly different from most GCSE approaches, even if a few of the topics might be familiar.
