any ideas what to do at uni if ds's fav subject is RMPS?

[ssd]

he's not religious at all but he loves RMPS

he didnt enjoy philosophy at all (?!)

he was really good at history but doesnt want to take it at uni

any ideas, RMPS seems to be one of the subjects not done at uni

He could study Theology/Religious Studies at University. It's called different things at different universities. You don't have to be religious!

something like religion culture and society at University of Central Lancaster?

Stick religion into the UCAS search engine and see what comes up.

However I would ask why he wants to go to uni and what he is passionate about? If your not doing a professional course like medicine or engineering then you really need to be passionate about the subject to make the studying worthwhile.

Sorry for my ignorance but what s RMPS ?

Do a PGDE and become a secondary RMPS teacher?

Search for theology courses; It’s definitely done at universities!

What did he like about the subject if he's not religious and didn't like philosophy? If it was the social/moral stuff, would he like sociology, social policy, or maybe government/politics?

yes it was the social/moral stuff

maybe I'll get him to look at sociology (not sure what that is )

individual & society little bit of ethics bit of social psychology bit of criminology & very very interesting

Anthropology/sociology sound good here.

would social sciences be the same sort of thing to sociology?

am looking at this?? we're in Scotland

What about philosophy? Or Politics/International Relations - both of which RMPS would be a good foundation for and which anyway are subjects that are started from scratch at Uni.

Sorry - I mussed your obvious paragraph about him not enjoying Philosophy

But the rest of my post still stands

Stirling have a highly rated RE course

What does RMPS stand for ?

Religious moral and philosophical studies

Thank you.

It's a specific subject in the Scottish education system.

Thankyou. In that case read the content of the Theology and Religion Courses (Search which university) and look for the ones that focus on the ethics and social impact that he is interested in. There are a few around. There may not be courses specifically called RMPS but there are many that cover that content. They are actually more useful than you might think as well as they teach relevant skills and are seen ad rigorous degrees.

thanks, I'll look at those suggestions, he wants to stay in Glasgow though
