Sociology (A Level)

Course summary

Sociology is the study of society. It examines the world in which we live in a practical, theoretical and analytical way. Sociology sets out to investigate how the world in which we live is structured and organised, and to study the effect this has upon all of our lives. Studying Sociology encourages students to challenge or reinforce their own views and to think critically, through the analysis and evaluation of different points of view and a variety of evidence-based research. Studying Sociology at A Level gives students the opportunity to positively engage with the world around them and gain a greater understanding of many of the issues that will affect them throughout the course of their lives.
