We have recently re-designed our Religious Studies to take account of developments in the world at large.

Why should I do Religious Studies?

It is designed for students of any religious persuasion or none.
It offers a range of academic responses to the most important questions about religion and its place in the world
how do I live?
Is there any meaning or purpose to life?
Could there be a life after death?
Is it reasonable to believe that there is a God?
This course offers a wide range of opportunities to study the important questions relating to our place in the scheme of things. Many students go on to university to explore related subjects.

What will I study?

You will have the opportunity to study religious texts in a scholarly rational way and evaluate the responses given to these questions by religion.

You will also study philosophical responses to such claims and evaluate the place of logic in the quest for truth.

Acquiring wisdom is not just about learning how to think well, although this is vital, but about learning what it is to live well.
