The A2 Sociology course continues from the AS Sociology course, and you must have passed AS Sociology in order to progress to A2. The course builds on your knowledge from the previous year, and you will be expected to remember all the research methods material, which is necessary for your A2 studies. A2 Sociology is more difficult and more advanced with regard to the topics we study, and the level of detail we go into. A2 Sociology modules include: Unit 3 £ Mass Media. This includes how the news is socially constructed, audience effects and violence in the media, as well as media portrayals and stereotypes. Unit 4 £ Crime and Deviance, Theories and Methods. This involves official crime statistics, and why some people commit more crime than others. More research methods and theories. You will get the opportunity to conduct practical research, create exciting learning materials such as videos, and to take part in social experiments to improve your understanding of sociological research. You will gain skills in critical analysis, essay writing and independent study during this course. Class debates are lively and interesting, with students able to learn from the life experiences of others from a variety of social backgrounds.
