Religious Studies

Course summary

Our course examines some of the most challenging questions that have dogged humanity throughout existence: Why is there something rather than nothing? What is our place in the universe? Is it possible to prove there is a God? Studying this course will give students’ the ability to understand the development of human ideas, how arguments work, and how to use philosophical principles to establish which theories about the universe and our existence could be true, and which are surely false. Students are given a thorough understanding of diverse philosophical arguments and ethical viewpoints. An in-depth Academic study of a religion offers students an overview of how religion has influenced everything in the world from politics to education.
