Sociology is the science that challenges preconceptions. It encourages students to question and evaluate aspects of our social environment that are usually taken for granted. Sociology offers students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of society, and of how sociologists study and explain people's lives. Studying sociology will enable students to discuss social issues in a more informed and systematic way and it will help them to make sense of their own and other people's experiences.
Students must meet our general Sixth Form entry requirements of five GCSEs at grade 4 or above and to study A level sociology, a grade 5 or above in GCSE English Language is preferable. It is not necessary to have completed GCSE Sociology to study A level. You must be prepared to read widely in areas of the course that interest you and to develop essay writing skills.
