What the college says

Religious Studies is an attractive option if you are interested in studying the fundamental questions which all human beings ask: “Does life have a purpose?”, “Who is God?”, “Why do we suffer?”, “What makes something right or wrong?” and “How do we understand historical and religious writings?” The subject gets to grips with people’s real lives, what they believe and what makes them act as they do. Religious Studies will appeal to you if you are enthusiastic and thoughtful enough to want to understand the deeply held convictions of others and to examine your own prejudices, assumptions and beliefs. This course provides a solid foundation for entry into higher education. Religious Studies is an excellent qualification for a wide range of careers from Social Welfare and Medicine, through Journalism and Teaching, to Personnel, Administration, Law or Commercial options.
