Sociology

Course summary

Sociology at A Level will give students the opportunity to study society. During the course, they will explore social behaviour across a range of different examples, appreciating where it starts and then how it develops over time. Also, students will examine how people become organised into groups, according to race, gender and class. As well as this, students will study public institutions that are used and shaped by these varying groups within society, with a specific focus on areas such as religion, education and media. In terms of skills, students will learn approaches and methods of Sociology, which will allow them to engage in debate and an active involvement with the research.
