The study of religion provides an opportunity to consider questions which are of fundamental concern, both for individuals and societies - questions about the meaning and purpose of human life, and the values by which we live.
At Level 4, a course introducing you to the study of religion is complemented by modules covering key texts and traditions of the Abrahamic religions. At Levels 5 and 6 the choice of courses includes biblical languages and texts, texts in English, Christian history and doctrine, Buddhism, philosophy of religion, religion and science, and religion and global politics. Level 6 includes the dissertation course, which offers you the chance to focus in detail on a topic of your choice.
By studying this programme, you will:
gain a deeper understanding of individuals and communities who have been influenced by religious belief
examine your own answers to some of life’s important questions
be able to analyse texts and arguments
be able to produce clear written accounts of your knowledge and arguments.
Assessment
Most courses are assessed by means of a combination of coursework (40%) submitted in February and a 1-5 hour examination (50%) taken in May. You can also be given credit for contributing to the discussion forums (10%). The Dissertation course is assessed by means of an 8,000 - 10,000 word dissertation. Exams are held in May each year.
Career opportunities
The programme can help to prepare you for a variety of career paths. For example, with further training, you could become a teacher, social worker, counsellor, police officer, journalist, or lawyer.
