Aims of the Course

This advanced GCE in Religious Studies draws its module content from a range of different religions and beliefs and from a more philosophical and ethical approach to religion. The study of religion through this Advanced GCE requires students to demonstrate a breadth and depth of knowledge about those areas studied as well as make connections, integrate ideas and develop concepts. In supporting the development of these areas, the specification also makes a significant contribution to enhancing the spiritual, moral, social and cultural education of students. Additionally it supports the development of a range of key skills that will be of value to students as they progress through their programme and as they progress to either work or further studies.
