This A Level enables students to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of religious beliefs and teachings, as well as the disciplines of ethics and philosophy of religion. Students will develop their skills of critical analysis in order to construct balanced, informed arguments and responses to religious, philosophical and ethical ideas. This A Level course in Religious Studies will encourage students to develop their interest in a rigorous study of religion and belief and relate it to the wider world. Students will adopt an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to the study of religion whilst reflecting on and developing their own values, opinions and attitudes during their study.

The course involves a range of teaching types including teacherled lectures, debate, research and student presentations.
