What the college says
A Level Religious Studies encourages you to consider the central concerns within all religions, alongside the ethics and philosophies behind them. Philosophy of religion is critical reflection on our fundamental beliefs. It is an ‘ideas’ subject, and all you need to begin Philosophy is a fascination with ideas, or with ‘the big questions’ such as ‘Does God exist?’ and ‘What is evil?’ Ethics and religion is the branch of study dealing with what is the proper course of action for people. It attempts to answer the question, "What do I do?" It is the study of right and wrong in human endeavours. At a more fundamental level, it is the method by which we categorize our values and pursue them. Do we pursue our own happiness, or do we sacrifice ourselves to a greater cause?
