It is split into three areas: Philosophy of Religions, Religion and Ethics and Developments in Religious thought. We study the OCR A level course. In Philosophy of Religion we start about 2500 years ago in ancient Greece with Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. We work right up to present day philosophy on a variety of deep and fascinating topics that have highly transferable applications beyond religious studies and will teach you to be a rigorous logical thinker who is great at understanding different points of view and making a convincing argument.
Any essay subjects (EG: history/English) with a grade 5+. A good grade (6 or above) in GCSE in Religious Studies or another humanities subject like History is desirable, but not essential. You need to be good at thinking for yourself, willing to listen to others and to read and write essays on important topics. Ideally, you will have intellectual curiosity and want to explore philosophical, ethical and religious issues. Every year we have some pupils who choose A Level RS having not taken GCSE RS, and often they do well.
There are three two-hour exam papers: • Philosophy of Religion • Religion and Ethics • Developments in Christian Thought There is no coursework and no controlled assessment.
