Students who choose to undertake Religious Studies at A Level will study the AQA AS and A Level Religious Studies. Religious Studies offers the unique opportunity to develop transferable skills which will be of benefit across all areas of study. The Russell Group of top universities has made it clear that Religious Studies A Level provides ‘suitable preparation for university generally’. This specification is designed to be taken over two years. There is no coursework component in A Level Philosophy. This is a linear qualification. To achieve the award, students must complete all assessments at the end of the course and in the same series. The exams are made up of two components: Component 1 consists of the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, and Component 2 consists of the study of Religion and the Dialogues. In addition to the skills mentioned above, students will also develop transferable skills including teamwork, research skills, problem-solving, presentation skills and confidence. Lessons are planned with a range of teaching and learning methods aimed at engaging, inspiring and motivating students to learn and think independently. Philosophy and Ethics students have a wealth of career opportunities available to them including social work, health worker, law and much more.
A minimum of 5 ‘good’ grades at GCSE (grades 9-4) and for A-level English, Maths and all Sciences, students are expected to have achieved at least a grade 6 at GCSE. For those students who have not achieved a grade 4 or above in English and/or Maths, they will be expected to retake a level 2 qualification in this subject during year 12. A grade 5 is required in all other subjects that students wish to study at A Level.
