This course will introduce students to an in-depth study of Philosophy, Ethics and Islam. Students will have the opportunity to examine questions relating to arguments for the existence of God, the problem of evil and suffering, the possibility of life after death and a range of ethical theories, including Utilitarianism and Natural Law. The course will also entail a close examination of the practices and beliefs of Islam, with a focus on the role of women within society and the Muslim understanding of Jihad. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to develop an understanding and appreciation of religious thought and its contribution to individuals, communities and societies. Further, pupils will adopt an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to religion today; enabling them to develop their own values, opinions and attitudes of religion and its place in the wider world.
