What the college says

Religious Studies involves studying The Big Questions of life. Religious believers, agnostics and atheists enjoy the subject as we contemplate and debate both the views of great thinkers and particular moral dilemmas. Religious Studies is a course to meet an ever changing world with connections to the News and Ethics. The subject has produced sound results for over twenty five years. Philosophy of Religion and Ethics entails a compelling and interactive engagement with key religious and moral debates concerning arguments for and against God, Miracles and Life after Death as well as key moral issues from Sexual Ethics to Feminist Theology and how we approach them. Students study a particular religion (at present Christianity) in a contemporary and moral setting.
