What the college says

This course explores fundamental questions addressed by philosophers and religious traditions about the nature and origins of human existence. The work of important religious and non-religious thinkers is analysed, religious traditions are carefully examined and the main theories of ethics are introduced and evaluated using examples of modern ethical dilemmas. The Religious Studies course encourages clear, analytical thinking and teaches students to spot flaws in arguments and express themselves in an articulate and persuasive manner. These skills are valued in all areas of work, but are especially valuable in law, journalism, education, human resources and management. The subject combines very well with both other humanities subjects and the sciences, and is highly regarded by universities.
