What the college says

This is the study of the philosophical aspects of religion and the ethical and moral values which underpin our Catholic Christian faith. Although the programme of study will analyse Christianity in depth, there remains plenty of scope to broaden and develop your own understanding of other faith systems and beliefs. Indeed it is through the philosophical analysis of religion that many students wake up to the reality that their moral, philosophical and spiritual dimensions are absolutely vital in their overall human development. Course availability is dependant on a minimum number of students applying.
