About the course

The Religious Studies A Level in design to:

• To develop an interest in, and enthusiasm for the rigorous study of religion and its relation to the wider world.
• To treat the subject as an academic discipline, providing the knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate for specialist study.
• To teach students an enquiring, reflective and critical approach to the study of religion.
• To encourage students to reflect on their own values, beliefs and opinions in the light of their study.

Entry Requirements

The A-level builds on the course content of the Religious Studies GCSE, but it is not necessary to have this qualification before undertaking the A-level. However, in order to meet the demands of the course, it is recommended that candidates have literary and communication skills equivalent to C or higher at GCSE, though full tutor support is given throughout.

Study Hours

The number of study hours are variable according to student commitment, though it is recommended that candidates spend around 150 hours on AS, and 300 hours in total for the full A-level.

Course includes On-line Learning Documentation, On-line Resources and Tutor support for 2 years.

Qualification

The titles of the qualifications as will appear on certificates are:

AQA Advanced Subsidiary GCE in Religious Studies

Each unit is worth 50% of the total marks available for the AS, and 25% for the A2 GCE if taken. The papers are each 1 hour and 15 minutes long and each carry 90 marks.

There will be one question based on each of the four sub-topics already stated. Candidates must answer two of these questions. Understanding of any one topic may be informed by a study of the others, and, where relevant, candidates may draw on material from more than one topic in their answer to any question set. To study less than the full Specification content may disadvantage a candidate’s synoptic grasp of the material for study. Where appropriate, answers should show awareness that there are differing views on the topics and issues studied.

Assessment Objective 1 questions will be set on the content listed for Unit 1/Unit 2.

Assessment Objective 2 questions will be focused on the issues surrounding the interpretation of the material studied or on the issues arising from that material.

The use of Bibles, including the Apocrypha, is allowed in the examination. Any version is permitted, provided that it does not contain notes, apart from plain cross-references or translators’ footnotes. Questions will be set on the assumption that all candidates will have Bibles before them in the examination room, but candidates will not be given credit for writing out lengthy quotations from the Bible. Biblical quotations used in questions will be taken from the Revised Standard Version. Where appropriate, the source of quotations will be given.
