Course summary

Religious education allows you to investigate ultimate questions such as “why does evil exist?” and “what is the purpose of life?” It enables you to study topics that explain the diversity of life and religion in the modern world while also improving philosophical thinking skills and the ability to think outside of the box. It seeks to develop an understanding of contemporary ethical and religious issues such as medical ethics and religious fundamentalism. You will develop communication skills and learn to clearly express your views and increase your self-confidence.
