This course lets you apply your existing knowledge while teaching you to describe and evaluate alternative viewpoints.
In the first year we study religious and non-religious beliefs on 4 topics (we will focus on Christianity, but include other perspectives as necessary):
- Section 1: The universe, creation and the place of human beings
- Section 2: Life and death
- Section 3: Peace and conflict
- Section 4: Rights, equality and social justice
In the second year we focus on Christian teachings about:
- Section 1: Origins and their impact on the community
- Section 2: Celebration and pilgrimage
- Section 3: Worship and practice
There are 2 papers for those who wish to sit the exam, and students need to answer shorter and longer questions, which we will prepare for over the two years.
Examinations need to be booked with an exam centre in order to be assessed for the qualification, and each centre will charge different amounts for that.
Each teaching session runs for 90mins, with a 10min break in the middle.
