Sociology is the study of society and looks at how human behaviour is influenced by different social institutions. It is about understanding why people do as they do and considers how society has changed and the impact of such changes on human behaviour and thought. In Year 1, students will cover 3 topics: Families and Households, Education and Methods. As part of the Families and Households, you will learn about the trends within family life in the UK, different theoretical perspectives on the Family and about the emergence of childhood. Within the Education module, you will undertake the study of Education and how it is has changed. You will also examine why some social groups do better than others within education. You will study research methods sociologists use and the strengths and limitations of such techniques. Please refer to the Sixth Form Prospectus on our website for further details about this course.
