Course Overview
Qualification: A Level Courses
- You enjoy finding out about people and society – past, present and future.
- You enjoy discussing and exploring key contemporary issues such as why does religion seem to encourage conflict? What could be the possible explanations for increased gang violence in London? Is social media making childhood toxic? Why are boys now the underachievers in education?
- Sociology is an analytical subject that enables you to develop critical skills. It teaches you to question and evaluate – these are key skills that employers look for.
- You want to study an A level subject that is interesting and relevant to your life. You will take away from Sociology a completely different way of thinking about the world and you will begin to question things you have always taken for granted.
- Sociology is a well-regarded academic subject and can help open the door for you at the top universities in the UK.
- You will be taught by very experienced specialist sociologists, who have been examiners for AQA, your exam board, for many years and who have an impressive track record of results.
- Learners will have the opportunity to attend a variety of courses and conferences during their two years of Advanced level study.
- We use a wide variety of teaching methods – lectures, discussions, student presentations, role-play, video material and study packs. Learners should be prepared to read widely around the subject and to undertake independent study using newspapers, journals, television and radio.
