Overview This is an academic subject well-received by universities because it teaches critical thinking, the ability to construct and analyse arguments, to reflect on morality and view issues with an open mind. It also gives you a rounded and mature outlook on important life topics. As well as this, you will study the beliefs and practices found within the Buddhist faith. It’s a good addition to any A Level programme and can lead to a wide range of degree courses. Structure Across the two years, you will study three
equally weighted units: – Philosophy of Religion – Ethical Theories – Buddhist Beliefs and Practices
In year two, you’ll look more deeply into some of the issues you studied in year one, analyse arguments for God’s existence and explore religious experiences and ethical issues.
