Sociology is the study of society and how people group together based on relationships, interests and beliefs. The content of the A-level course is diverse and taught in a modular structure over the two years. Over this period, students will examine topics such as crime, religion, family, the state, race, social class and power, control within society and social divisions. They will also have the opportunity to examine research design and apply various methods to the topics above. In Year 13, students will conduct their own small scale educational research within our junior school. Sociology is an exciting A-level which encourages lively discussion in small group settings. Students will require the ability to present clear and concise arguments, both verbally and in writing.
Students who wish to study Sociology at A-level will require English GCSE at Grade 6 or above.
Sociology A-level is assessed by three equally weighted papers at the end of the two-year course.
