Religious Studies

Level 3
Further Education
Armagh Campus

Overview

Religious Studies promotes an understanding of the diversity of our society. Through a study of a selection of New Testament books and ethics, students are encouraged to reflect upon Christianity’s role today and the various issues that it faces. This is a versatile subject that develops a student’s ability to present arguments, consider other points of view and engage in critical discussion – all of which are key skills needed for further study at university.

Attendance at Individual or Group Pre-Entry Advice Sessions (IPEAS and GPEAS) may be required. These interviews may take place either on campus, via telephone or video call (Microsoft teams) and will play an important role in the selection of all courses.

For applicants who are at least 16 years of age on or before 1st July in the year of proposed entry to the course and who have recently been in education to key stage 4, must have one of the following:

Applicants wishing to study 3 A-Levels must have achieved 5 GCSEs at Grade C. It is desirable that these should include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade C or above.
Applicants wishing to study 4 A-Levels must have achieved 6 GCSEs at Grade B. It is essential that these include GCSE English Language Grade C and GCSE Mathematics Grade C or above.
BTEC First Diploma or Certificate or equivalent at Merit or above (with an overall qualification profile equivalent to 20 points or above)
Leaving Certificate – a profile equivalent to 14 points (of which 4 subjects must be achieved at Grade C3 or better at Ordinary Level) pre-2017. From 2017, 4 subjects must be achieved at 04 or better at Ordinary Level.
Attendance at IPEAS or GPEAS is essential in the selection of candidates in all courses.
It is desirable that students have attained a GCSE at grade B or above in the subject they wish to study for A Level.
Applicants wishing to study an A-Level in Religious Studies must have obtained GCSE English Language grade C or above.
