Religious Studies

Assessment

In the final exam students take three papers in the areas of study chosen. Students are required to answer three essay questions from a choice of five in each exam. The three units of study are Philosophy of Religion, Religious Ethics and Development in Religious Thoughts. You will be asked essay-style questions in which you may be expected to use material from more than one area within the unit, to draw comparisons and to assess the relative significance of different aspects of the unit. The second year of Religious Education enables students to study in greater depth aspects of one or more religions, including textual, theological, ethical, phenomenological and philosophical perspectives.
