Religious Studies

Course summary

Theology is one of the oldest academic subjects found at university and now at school level. Our multi-disciplinary course covers three papers: Philosophy of Religion, Ethics and New Testament Studies. The A Level is highly respected by universities and employers for its rigour and ambition. It is on a par with any arts subject that demands several skills: literary, linguistic, philosophical and historical analysis. As such, it will appeal to anyone whose academic horizons are broad and who is interested in all issues connected with religion today. It works well with other humanities, as well as complementing science-based courses. Every year the department sends pupils on to university to read Theology or Philosophy, including Oxbridge candidates. We never lose sight of the fact that everyone is an individual and all will be given a high degree of personal attention. Results have been excellent with a high proportion of candidates achieving A or B grades.
