What the college says

Religious Studies is a challenging and exciting subject. It is broken into three areas: philosophy, ethics, and developments in Christian thought. It is thought provoking and encourages critical thinking in all areas. The skills achieved through studying this course include evaluative and analytical skills which are ideal for careers in law, politics, business, and psychology. This is due to the ability to look at an issue from a variety of views, offer challenges to these and assess the validity of arguments. Religious Studies will challenge your own views and will allow for an in-depth study of the world including a variety of emotive topics including but not limited to the holocaust, the treatment of women, attitudes towards pre-marital sex and homosexuality, and the issue of innocent children suffering.
