With its emphasis on World Religions, provides an opportunity for candidates to follow a coherent course, balanced in terms of breadth and depth, and supports the study of Christianity and/or one or two other principal religions.

It enables candidates to study any permitted combination of the available modules, so that (for instance) candidates might study Christian (Roman Catholic) Perspectives together with Judaism.

The course complements, and may be delivered in conjunction with, courses in Personal, Social and Health Education and/or Citizenship, and provides a potentially rich source of evidence for attainment in five of the six Key Skills; it also contributes to cross-curricular areas of health education, personal and social education, gender and multi-cultural issues.

The Full Course is designed so that it can be delivered in conjunction with the associated Short Course; candidates may transfer from one course to another at almost any point in their period of study

Not open to external candidates
