OCR A Level Religious Studies gives you the opportunity to study the textual, theological, historical, ethical, phenomenological and philosophical perspectives of religion. It allows you to develop your interest in, and enthusiasm for, a rigorous study of philosophy, ethics and religion and their relation to the wider world, whilst adopting an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to your studies. Religious Studies also encourages pupils to reflect on and develop their own values, opinions and attitudes in the light of their learning.
No prior knowledge of Religious Studies is required, but if you have done GCSE Religious Studies you will be building on the knowledge, understanding and skills you gained at that level. Pupils are however expected to have an interest in current affairs, to use an enquiring critical and empathetic approach.
The course has three distinct modules of equal weighting and each will be assessed by a two hour examination at the end of the two year course.
