Integral elements: All the following must be an integral part of the study of each topic area: • sociological theories, perspectives and methods • the design of the research used to obtain the data under consideration, including its strengths and limitations. Attention must be given to drawing out the links between topic areas studied. Core themes: Students must study the following two core themes: • socialisation, culture and identity • social differentiation, power and stratification. The themes should be understood and applied to particular substantive areas of Sociology. These themes are to be interpreted broadly as threads running through many areas of social life and should not therefore be regarded as discrete topics. In addition, students must understand the significance of conflict and consensus, social structure and social action, and the role of values.
There are no previous learning requirements. Any requirements for entry to a course based on these specifications are at the discretion of schools and colleges. However, we recommend that students should have the skills associated with a GCSE course or equivalent.
