Course summary
This is an opportunity for students to undertake an in-depth and broad study of their chosen religion covering themes ranging from religious figures and sacred texts to practices that shape religious identity. This includes a study of fundamental philosophical themes, ranging from arguments for the existence of God to the use of religious language. Students will also study fundamental ethical themes, ranging from ethical language and thought to freewill and determinism. The unit examinations are as follows: Written exam; 3 papers; 2 hours each for A-Level. CAREERS Studying RE provides many transferable skills such as researching, analysis of evidence and data, written and verbal communication and highly developed thinking skills.
