Sociology is the study of society and engages students in challenging their existing ideas about the world as they know it. The main aim of Sociology is to understand the relationship between individuals and their society over time with a focus on contemporary and global issues. If you are interested in people or if you want to understand what is happening in the world, this is the course for you. By studying Sociology, you can develop a greater understanding of the society and processes that shape our behaviour. You will learn how to apply different theoretical explanations as well as how to research and analyse sociological evidence. In addition, you will also learn how society operates, why problems arise and how we can solve them. During the course you will develop the ability to debate ideas and communicate them in writing.
You will not need any previous knowledge of Sociology, but as a minimum you will need: • Grade 4 or C in GCSE English Language and English Literature. You will need to be able to: • Cope with abstract ideas. • Produce good written English.
Assessment is by three 2 hour exams at the end of Year 2, each contributing 33.3% towards the overall A Level grade.
