A Level Sociology
St Mary Magdalene Academy
Course summary
"Sociology is the scientific study of society, examining how individuals and groups are shaped by the social world around us. During A Level Sociology we explore a number of different social theories, ranging from classical Marxism to contemporary Feminism, and apply these ideas and debates to modern society in order to develop a critical understanding of the way we live. During the A Level, you will study six modules: Processes of Cultural Transmission, Families and Households, the Education System, Crime and Deviance, Social Stratification and Research Methods. Sociology is an ideal A Level choice for students who are interested and inquisitive about the world around them and keen to debate and investigate new ideas. Sociology complements both traditional Science and Humanities A Levels, broadening ideas and themes under the umbrella of the Social Sciences, alongside modelling wider key skills such as essay writing, debating and independent research. Sociology therefore provides and excellent basis and extension for subjects such as History, English, Biology, Geography and Psychology, it will particularly useful for those considering a career in journalism, teaching, healthcare, law, media, business and the police.
