Sociology explores the way we think, interact, and develop our sociological imagination. On a personal level we delve into our identity and construction of self; we unpick the foundations of what make us individual by exploring the family as a structural unit, our education system and our legal system. We seek to challenge ‘grand narratives’ that have underpinned Western Society for the past three centuries. And by doing so seek to understand how we can know and develop awareness of other cultures and hidden societies. Sociology aims to analyse and explain behaviours and issues spanning a great range of topics; from race and gender, misogyny and aging, and to the theory that shapes society today. We draw on Philosophy, History, Economics and Psychology to create a holistic understanding of the world we live in.
All pupils typically have achieved a 5 in English and Maths at GCSE. Students with a keen understanding for a Humanities based subject find this beneficial for studying A Level Sociology. However, all subject disciplines will be considered for undertaking this A Level.
This qualification is linear. Linear means that students will sit all the A-level exams at the end of their A-level course.
