What the college says

Ethics Religious Studies looks at “ultimate questions” such as the nature of existence. This is done by a philosophical approach, developing skills in assessing the validity and strengths of arguments and approaches. These skills are also applied to understanding a world religion, its history and its beliefs. Debate and discussion are an important element of the course. In this course you will study how both religious and non-religious people make moral decisions including absolute and relative approaches. You will explore ethical theories such as Natural Law, Situation Ethics, Kantian Ethics and Utilitarianism. You will also enjoy learning about the ethics of a religion you choose, its main ethical principles, the ways in which religion and morality may be linked.
