Religious Studies

Course summary

What is my conscience? Who should decide what is morally right or wrong? What is true? Who should decide when to end a life? How can people believe in God in the face of natural evil? How can we ever use language to describe anything? If you want to consider age-old questions together with ones that divide the modern world, then Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics (Religious Studies) are ideal! It is a liberal, academic course that gives a foundation in modern philosophical thinking. We explore religious, atheist, moral, and scientific thought and the implications for the future, and there is plenty of room for free discussion. Unique to RPE A Level, students will benefit from the combined expertise of three separate teachers taking one of each of the three strands: Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion.
