Religious Studies
Aims of the Religious Studies Department
Religious Studies at Mulberry follows a multi-faith approach. That means you will learn about the idea of religion by studying the six major faiths found in the United Kingdom: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism
Think
We want to make you think about your own beliefs and also about the beliefs of other people. That is why there are two main targets in Religious Studies:
• Learning about religion
• Learning from religion
