Course summary

Religious Studies is offered for subject study in the BEd Primary, BEd Post-Primary and BA Liberal Arts courses. The subjects studied include biblical studies, dogmatic and moral theology, catechetics and church history. The Religious Studies department actively supports and contributes to College ecumenical activities and is committed to furtherance of the aims of Education for Mutual Understanding.

Course Content

This is a four-year honours degree programme leading to registration with the GTCNI and full recognition to teach by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland. In the first three years of the programme, students take courses in the following five strands: Education Studies, Curriculum Studies, Key Skills (Literacy, Numeracy, UICT), Professional Development and School Experience, Subject Study and Subject Application. In the final year of the programme, Subject Study and Subject Application are replaced with the Capstone Module. This is an integrative and culminating module which allows the students to demonstrate the high-level skills and knowledge required to earn the BEd Honours qualification.

Teaching & Learning

We aim to provide a high quality learning environment that embeds intellectual curiosity, innovation and best practice in learning, teaching and student support to enable students to achieve their full academic potential. We do this by providing a range of learning experiences which enable our students to engage with subject and professional experts.

Assessment

The way in which you are assessed will vary according to the Learning Objectives of each module. Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments. Some are assessed through a combination of coursework and end of semester examinations, while assessment of others may include a presentation or submission of a portfolio. School-based work is assessed through observation by College tutors with an input from school staff. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in course handbooks which are provided to all students at the start of the year.
