Students gain critical and evaluative skills sought by higher education and employers – particularly in law, education, social work, politics, medicine, administration and the media.
Religious studies is a thought provoking subject and our contemporary themes will help you inspire engaging classroom discussion.
Highlights include:
- all religions, philosophical and ethical themes have the same learning requirements, helping you integrate your teaching
- we’ve worked with subject experts, teachers and higher education to create a stimulating and relevant curriculum with a straightforward approach to assessment
- question papers will allow students of all abilities the chance to show what they know
- the AS and A-level are co-teachable – although they are decoupled, the AS content links directly to A-level as it’s the first half of the A-level course.
