Course description

Designed to encourage an interest in and enthusiasm for a rigorous study of religion, our GCE RS specification will enable students to develop an insight into areas of knowledge, belief and thought, central to an understanding of the modern world. Through a study of philosophy and two of the world’s major religions, students will gain a range of knowledge and skills that will help them make sense of contemporary events.
