Religious Studies is like thinking, only louder. You won’t be told what to think. Instead we introduce you to the ideas of philosophers and ask: does this make sense? Religious Studies will help you to become sharper and more articulate in your ability to reason. It will encourage you to analyse and spot flaws in reasoning and construct a better argument. It will help you become more confident in your ability to debate and exchange ideas. Above all, you will reflect in a mature fashion on fundamental questions about meaning – “Who am I? Where am I going? What is right and wrong?”
There is no requirement to have studied Religious Studies before and you do not need a religious commitment to study this subject, but you do need a lively, enquiring and critical mind. You will be directed to think clearly and rigorously to help you make up your own mind. Students are required to meet the General Entry Requirement of a minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade 6 with at least GCSE grade 4 in English Language and Maths.
There are two assessment objectives: (i) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of philosophical, ethical and religious thought (40%) (ii) Analyse and evaluate aspects of, and approaches to religion and belief (60%) And three examinations: • Philosophy of Religion (Written Paper; 2 hours; 33.3% of A Level) • Religion and Ethics (Written Paper; 2 hours; 33.3 % of A Level) • Developments in Religious Thought (Written Paper; 2 hours; 33.3% of A Level)
