You will get the chance to investigate ultimate questions such as “what is the purpose of life?” and “why does evil exist?” Study topics that explain the diversity of life and religion in the modern world. You will also improve your philosophical thinking skills and the ability to think outside of the box and understand contemporary ethical and religious issues such as medical ethics and immigration. It is arguably the most cross-curricular subject you can take; it will fit in with your other options, whatever they are. It builds on your GCSE skills and knowledge so the transition to A Level will be smoother. You will study three components: Component 1: A Study of Religion (Buddhism) This component provides the opportunity for you to acquire and develop knowledge and a critical understanding of some of the key features of a world religion, ranging from religious figures to religious practices. Component 2: Philosophy of Religion This component provides the opportunity for you to acquire and develop knowledge and a critical understanding of some of the key features of fundamental philosophical themes, ranging from arguments for and against the existence of God to religious experience. Component 3: Religion and Ethics This component provides the opportunity for you to acquire and develop knowledge and a critical understanding of key ethical concepts and theories, ranging from moral absolutism to utilitarianism.
