Careers

Religious Studies equips students with marketable, transferable skills that are attractive to universities, colleges and employers, including:

• analytical and strategic thinking;
• research skills;
• critical judgement;
• the ability to work with abstract, conceptual ideas;
• an ability to ‘understand both sides’ and negotiate and resolve conflict;
• problem-solving skills;
• leadership skills;
• understanding of the impact of conflicting ideologies; and
• an appreciation of human diversity, belief systems, cultural and spiritual experiences.

Many of our past-pupils have used their success in Religious Studies to move on to further and higher education . Their acquired skills are now helping them complete degrees in fields such as Education, Law, Medicine, Theology,  Business, Music and Film Studies to name a few.
