Learn about A-level Sociology at d'Overbroeck's Oxford. Students study the way people are affected by society and how society is affected by people. In the summer of 2011, England erupted with the worst riots for a generation, with violent protests against police, destruction of neighbourhoods and large-scale looting. Academics, politicians and media commentators have written a great deal, trying to explain why the rioting occurred. In Sociology lessons, we have read articles about the riots, book extracts and even attended a play in London to feed into discussions in class. This is because all explanations are, in essence, drawing on sociological ideas.
Open to 16 to 18-year-olds, our entry requirements depend on whether your child is a UK or international applicant. Prospective students will be invited to an interview with our Sixth Form Leadership Team. Anyone who has an interest in understanding how the world around them works, and who enjoys critical thinking and exploring ideas from different viewpoints. Students who have shown an interest in and aptitude for English and/or History almost always do well in Sociology, although success in the subject is certainly not limited to those who study these subjects. Sociology is an excellent complement to other subjects too, such as Psychology, Politics and Media Studies, but also provides a good balance if your other subjects are mainly science-based.
