Assessment

The A Level qualification is comprised of three units, each being assessed by an examination at the end of the two years. Unit 1 – Education with Theory and Methods Unit 2 – Family and Household and Beliefs in Society Unit 3 – Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods An avid interest in both political events and current affairs is vital, with students needing to be continually aware of issues and debates in contemporary society. It is an essay-based subject and so a willingness to formulate arguments is also essential.
