The new A Level in Religious Studies builds on work studied at GCSE and takes this to a higher level with the introduction of Philosophy of Religion and Religious Ethics. The study of a combination of Abrahamic and Dharmic religions makes this transition much smoother as it begins to prepare students for the more challenging material an A Level course offers, for example this is specifically apparent when studying the concept of the soul. The religion of focus is Christianity.
