The course provides ample opportunity for discussion of the place of religion in the modern world. It would appeal to anyone with historical, linguistic or religious/philosophical interests but also to those keen to relate scientific discoveries to religious theory.
If GCSE Religious Studies has been taken, a Grade 7 is required. A willingness to consider different issues from a number of viewpoints is equally important. For those who have not undertaken a GCSE course, a minimum of a Grade 7 in either English Language or English Literature is essential.
