There are then three optional topics: 'Culture and Identity', 'Families and Households', 'Health', and 'Work, Poverty, and Welfare'. Year 13 has two compulsory modules: 'Education with Theory and Methods' and 'Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods'.

Option 2 - 'Beliefs in Society', 'Global Development', 'The Media', 'Stratification and Differentiation'. You will use the higher order skills that enable you to recognise, analyse, and evaluate key sociological concepts. You will become a critically engaged young adult. This will happen through a variety of teaching methods. There will be discussion and group work that focus on events in today's society. You will undertake directed research on your own and you will have the opportunity to attend visits that show how Sociology is relevant to our understanding of society.
