This film reveals the inside story about taking Religious Studies at examination level and the benefits it can bring – from the mouths of current and former students.
Using the format of a web-based options programme, four key questions are explored as part of the decision-making journey:
- What will I be doing?
- What skills will I gain from RS?
- Is it only for religious people?
- What could I do with RS?
