For Year 3, you will enjoy the opportunity to undertake a project on a topic of your own choice, with the assistance of your tutor. You might, for example, visit Art Galleries and become more aware of the importance of music in biblical interpretation. In addition, you will choose two modules from the broad range of choices listed below. The course is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and visits to places of worship. Visits to local Art Galleries, such as the Barber Institute, highlight the importance of looking at the Bible through the eyes of artists.
Assessment is by a combination of coursework, project and examination.
Two A levels or equivalent are required, although an RE pass is not essential. This 36 week full-time course prepares graduates to teach Religious Education both in Catholic and other secondary schools. You will be introduced to the current debates and practices within Catholic Religious Education, as well as those issues relating to the promotion of the spiritual, moral, cultural and mental development of all pupils. You will be encouraged to develop a coherent view of Religious Education and its role within the basic curriculum and the Catholic tradition. The course is designed to encourage an analytical, reflective and critical attitude to planning, teaching and evaluating Religious Education in a variety of school and social sectors.
