Sociology is the study of society. In this course, the topics of Families and Households and Education introduce students to the subject by extending knowledge and understanding from their own experience. The overall aims of the course are to give students opportunities to develop an understanding and awareness of: • Society in all its diverse aspects, with particular reference to the chosen syllabus topics. • Patterns of advantage and disadvantage, for example, in relation to gender, ethnicity, class, age, and culture. • The importance of constructive discussion, collaborative work, and the ethics and skills of research. • The ability to be receptive to different viewpoints in order to evaluate information and ideas to reach their own balanced judgments. The course is of value on two levels – the academic and the personal; it opens your eyes to yourself, your environment, and the world around you. It is therefore of great value for those people entering careers as varied at the Law, Medicine (from consultant to nurse), Teaching, Armed Forces, Police, Social Work, Public Services, and Personnel Management. The subject is accepted by all institutions of Higher Education for a wide range of courses or is equally acceptable for entry into employment post-A level study.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above or equivalent. An interest in people, society, and the world. Sociology is an academic course that requires a sound level of literacy in order to cope with the texts that need to be studied and essay writing, therefore a 6 in English is needed.
