Religious Studies

Course summary

Theology and Philosophy develops the essential skills of reason and debate and no subject goes further to engage critically with the world and the nature of reality. The construction of coherent, persuasive and informed argument is a core aim of the A level and is both a hallmark of intelligence and key to a successful career in a variety of fields. The course builds on knowledge and skills initiated at IGCSE, although this is not a prerequisite of the course. The A level is examined in three separate papers; Philosophy of Religion, Ethics and Development in Christian thought.
