What the college says

In studying Religion, Philosophy and Ethics you will have the opportunity to explore some of the big questions which fascinate us all. Within Philosophy, you will begin by considering how it is possible to know anything and what makes a person a person before considering issues regarding the existence of God, religious experiences and the problem of evil. Within Ethics, you will examine different ethical perspectives such as Natural Law and Utilitarianism whilst considering what should be a person's key moral principles. You will then examine how these theories can be applied to real life topics relating to life such as euthanasia. For the Religion topic, students will study Christianity and have the opportunity to consider the differences between natural and revealed theology and consider different Ideas about life after death.
