A Level Sociology

UPDATED 20161024 13:22:27

Sociology focuses on topics that affect our society today, for example: the way that culture identity is formed; how research is performed; understanding how and why our society is unequal; the impact of digital technology; what can be done about crime and deviance in society. Sociology provides students with the exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. The course looks at contemporary issues and gives students the chance to develop a desirable set of key skills, including the ability to formulate clear, logical arguments with extensive evaluation from a range of theoretical perspectives. Many employers and universities respect candidates who have A-level Sociology as it show they understand demographics and individual needs, as well as having the ability to hold a debate, to think about things rationally but empathetically and to have a balanced view towards people of all backgrounds. What could I go on to next? A-level Sociology can lead to university degree courses in sociology, politics, advertising, media studies, cinema studies and journalism among others. Sociology can help you get jobs in advertising, media, journalism, careers guidance, counselling and teaching.
