What the college says

Religious Studies is a fascinating subject that will challenge you on an academic and personal level. Lessons involve thought-provoking, open-ended, rational and sometimes infuriating discussion. RS is for students who value the opportunity to explore in depth real issues concerning human existence. There is no expectation of personal religious belief, only open-mindedness. You have to be prepared to read widely, grapple with difficult concepts and work independently. This subject is assessed by essays written in the end of course examination. You must therefore be keen to develop your skills of written expression and critical analysis. A Level RS is compatible with English and Humanities subjects, but the themes covered make it an interesting partner with Arts and Science subjects. For those considering law, journalism, medicine, social sciences, theology or philosophy this is an excellent choice.
