What the college says

Religious Studies is an exciting, interesting and challenging course aimed at developing knowledge and understanding in three key areas of study; philosophy, ethics and Buddhism. This course provides students with the ability to reason, critically analyse and formulate their own arguments based on philosophical and ethical theories. Students will enjoy exploring and contrasting the ideas of both western philosophers and the eastern philosophy of Buddhism. In ethics, students will engage in critical discussions of ethical theories and apply these to pertinent ethical issues within today’s society, such as euthanasia, business and sexual ethics.
