We need only to look at the news to see how relevant the study of religion is. In the 21st Century, it is increasingly important for us all to be aware of people’s religious beliefs and to understand how they shape people’s attitudes and lifestyles.
You will study Christianity and Islam. You will learn about aspects of their beliefs, practices and ethics and will develop your own skills of analysis and evaluation to reflect on key religious debates affecting society today.
