Course Summary

Our Sociology course provides our students with the exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them and reflect on social issues that are often relevant to their own social experiences.

Course Details

Sociology is the study of how human society develops and changes and how people interact with one another. The central aim of the A Level in Sociology is to examine relationships and inequalities between people and the effects social, economic and political influences may have on them. Sociology gives students an understanding of how society shapes people and how people shape society. The course has a strong focus on key sociological themes: socialisation, culture, identity, power, control and inequality.
