Exam Board: AQA Sociology offers a distinct and illuminating perspective on human behaviour. Learning Sociology means taking a step back from our own personal interpretations of the world, to look at the social influences that shape our lives. The scope of Sociology is extremely wide, ranging from the study of ethnic, gender and class groups to the significance of globalisation. You will learn to be analytical, to question assumptions and about what is normal and natural in society. Are you willing to look at the world in a different way? You will be expected to take an interest in current affairs, debate issues, research evidence, and to read widely around relevant topics. An appreciation of Sociology will deepen your understanding of social change and the contemporary world. It will also give you the ability to conduct and analyse research. Sociology is a suitable subject to complement Science, Social Science and/or Arts subjects. A study of Sociology will not only develop your critical thinking but also develop key skills such as communication and ICT. A Sociology qualification is highly relevant for careers in media, law, the health services, education, sales and market research.
