A-Level Religious Studies

Religious Studies poses some big questions, such as: Does God really exist? Is there a moral argument for euthanasia? Are there really such things as good and evil? These are just some of the intriguing topics you’ll be studying in our OCR A-Level Religious Studies course (also known as A-level RS).

You’ll take a tour through the issues of meta-ethics and moral responsibility, examine the relationship between religion and science, and explore the challenges that secularism poses for Christianity.

You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the ancient philosophical influences on word religions, study the fascinating debates surrounding the idea that human beings have a ‘conscience’, and explore the complex relationship between sexual ethics and religious belief.
