Religious Studies

Assessment

Studying philosophy and ethics is like going down a rabbit hole. The subject begins with an examination of some of the basics of Western philosophy, and expands from there. Interconnecting ideas and beliefs begin to become apparent and the intricacies of the subject take form. Philosophy and ethics is a heavily content driven subject, so it requires students to take responsibility for their progress and take on wider reading in their study time. The majority of homework set is essay based, in order to prepare students for the final examinations.
