What the college says

Religious Studies critically examines the teachings of religion and applies them to philosophical, sociological, and psychological questions. It develops students’ capacity to think in a clear, structured manner and their capacity to handle difficult concepts. The course is an in-depth exploration of the philosophical origins, role and ethical teachings of religion and its influence on modern society. Consider the questions below; if you find any of them interesting, then Religious Studies could be for you! Do we possess a ‘soul’? How have people tried to prove God’s existence? Can science and religion be reconciled? Is there any basis to religious experiences or miracles? Are the teachings of the Christian Church relevant to society today? Are you interested in the ‘bigger’ questions in life? Have you ever wondered about why humanity finds itself drawn to religion? Do you find yourself questioning the nature of reality? Do you wonder why bad things happen? And of course, whether God exists?
