Why should I study Sociology? Have you ever wondered to what extent you are actually in control of the choices you make? Does how you are raised affect your chances of being successful? Does your gender actually determine whether you will underachieve at school? Does where you live really matter in enabling you to be successful or not? These are just some of the questions we explore while studying Sociology. In A Level Sociology, you will be reflecting on social life: it is the study of society. It will give you an understanding of how the human society functions by exploring the interactions between the different structures that exist and what people do. You will be able to apply this foundation knowledge to all aspects of society and begin to think critically about the world. You will develop a variety of skills focused around analysing and interpreting information, evaluating ideas and honing your ability to express your ideas confidently in debates. You will engage in the academic study of looking at different social problems that exist in society today and learn about the methodology required to investigate them.
