Studying Philosophy and Belief (also known as Religious Studies) will teach students to think logically and critically about issues, to analyse and construct arguments and to be open to new ways of thinking. The successful completion and achievement of a GCSE in Religious Studies will provide an excellent basis for higher studies at A level in Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics. Religious Studies is a relevant qualification for any job which involves working with other people. The UK is a multi-faith society and an understanding of our differences, but also all that unites us, enables students to become successful citizens.
