Sociology will appeal to students who are interested in social issues. It explores many aspects of society and social life and provides a framework for understanding different explanations for human behaviour. Students will have the opportunity to look at a number of studies carried out by sociologists. A-level Sociology is a two year programme, but when you successfully complete the first year you will have achieved an Advanced Subsidiary AS in Sociology. n the second year of the A-Level, students will study sociological topics at a higher level together with crime and deviance and beliefs in society. Within beliefs in society we explore the role of religion, the role of cults, sects and churches and their relationship to religious activity and whether or not religion is in decline in today’s society. In theory and methods, students will consider the key research methods available to sociologists to study society, the major theories which aim to explain the social world in which we live and whether or not sociology is a science. In Crime and Deviance, students consider the different explanations for crime & deviance and study how criminal behaviour differs between groups in society. Students will also explore and evaluate the ways crime and deviance is researched in Sociology.
