A Level Sociology provides you with the exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world around you and reflect on social issues that are often relevant to your own social experiences. Studying Sociology opens up the possibility for fascinating discussions, for example, ‘What impact do digital forms of communication have on social relations?’, ‘How do Sociologists investigate inequality in society? and ‘What are the patterns and trends of religion in relation to social class?’ You can acquire knowledge and a critical understanding of contemporary social processes and social changes. You will have the opportunity to develop a broad set of desirable key skills, including the ability to analyse and formulate clear, logical arguments with scope for extensive evaluation from a range of theoretical perspectives. You will study research in areas such as culture, socialisation, youth subcultures, globalisation and the digital world, crime and deviance and social inequality
