The aim of Religious Education and Religious, Moral and Philosophical Studies is to develop a pupil\u2019s understanding of the world around us and the impact that religious and non-religious beliefs have on our lives. It raises awareness of the relevance of religion, morality and philosophy and the impact and significance of world religions, contemporary moral questions, and religious and philosophical questions.<\/p>\n

In S3 the focus of RMPS is to look at a variety of moral issues with pupils studying Gender both here in the UK and in the Developing World.\u00a0 Pupils will also have the opportunity to research into another moral issue of their choice and complete an assignment on this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can study RMPS at National 4, 5, Higher and Advanced Higher levels. When applying to universities and colleges, RMPS is considered an essay-based subject and is therefore looked on as a desirable subject to have. <\/span><\/div>\n
