Sociology is the study of our society, of its people and their behavior. If you want to understand society and explore why it is the way it is then AS Sociology will offer you a general introduction to the subject. You will examine and investigate the structure of society, social institutions such as the family and the education system. You will learn how to think about the social world in a way that goes beyond our normal ‘common sense’ understanding. In AS Sociology you will explore the core themes of socialization, social inequality and difference, culture and identity, power and control within the topics of the family and education. You will also learn about the general theories and methods of research that sociologists have developed in order to study society. The AS can be used as a qualification on its own, with its own UCAS points. If you are successful on the AS course you can go on to A Level. In A Level Sociology you will develop your knowledge and understanding of the core themes of Sociology within topics such as Beliefs in Society, Religion and Crime and Deviance. You will also continue to learn about Sociological Theory and Research Methods when studying these topics. Career & Further Study: Sociology provides an excellent foundation for further study in a range of Humanities and Social Science subjects. Students with AS/A Level Sociology often go on to do degrees in subjects such as Psychology, History, Law and Social Work, to name but a few. A qualification in Sociology is useful for a wide range of careers. It is of particular value to anybody wanting a career which involves working with people and communities (e.g. police, social work, teaching, nursing and Social Policy).
