Religious Studies

Entry Requirements

As well as an open and enquiring mind, students wishing to study religious studies will need at least five GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including English language at grade 5 and maths at grade 4; a GCSE in religious studies is not a pre-requisite, however if you have studied it, a grade 5 is required. It’s also desirable to have a GCSE in a written subject such as English or history since the course and exams involve essay writing. An appreciation of the importance of analysis and balance in tackling conflicting point of view is also advantageous.
