Sociology enables students to explore the workings of society. Sociologists create theories to explain human behaviour and the workings of society. Theories are explanations of the patterns we find in everyday life, for example, we may have a theory as to why there are differences in girls’ and boys’ achievement levels in school. Sociology is an evidence-based subject, meaning students must explore research to support such theories. Sociology opens up discussions about how society shapes our behaviour, or whether our behaviour shapes society.
Students must have obtained grade 6 or above in English.
Students will sit three 2 hour written exams in Year 13. All the topics studied in Year 12 are reexamined during the second year.
