Religious Studies (Philosophy, Ethics and Christianity) gives you the opportunity to study some of the fundamental questions that people have always asked about life. You do not need to be ‘artsy’ to do well at Religious Studies. The course supports those who wish to study the sciences, especially those interested in a career in Medicine. It also complements a number of other A level course, including English, History, Geography, Politics and Mathematics. It is a very well-respected A level by universities; it builds your skills in critical thinking, essay writing and reading for meaning. Finally, it is significantly different to the GCSE course. It is more philosophically rigorous, with the majority of marks being for your own reasoned evaluation of ideas, rather than memorising content.
A typical Sixth Form student will join Year 12 with a minimum of six GCSEs at Level 5 or above, including Mathematics and English, with Level 6 achieved in those subjects they propose to study at A Level.
