Religious Studies

Entry Requirements

Philosophy has been defined as the love of wisdom and the search for truth. If you enjoy understanding the philosophical direction of others, challenging accepted knowledge, debating and arguing ideas and arriving at reasoned conclusions then this subject is for you! Students need to have the tenacity to think about demanding topics, and the motivation to read widely around the subject. Good essay writing skills are needed; there should be some evidence of this in previous qualifications. A GCSE qualification in Religious Studies is not a requirement for A Level study. Students interested in choosing this course should have gained at least a grade 6 in GCSE RS (if taken); alternatively, gaining at least a grade 6 in a supporting subject, such as English or History will be required.
