Sociology is the study of human social life, groups and societies. Sociology attempts to describe and explain people's social behaviour. In so doing, it asks questions such as why is it that people join gangs? What causes crime? Why are some people rich and others poor? Why do girls get better exam results than boys? Why do 50,000 people in the world die of poverty every day? Sociology can help you to understand the social structures that shape us and prepare us for our place in the world, such as the family and education. It can also shed light on hidden aspects of society such as criminal gangs and youth subcultures. Students may continue to study a degree in Sociology or it may be beneficial in disciplines such as Law, Psychology etc. Two exams based on source materials and essays will take place in the summer. One of the subjects to move to the A Level specification in the first phase of the introduction to linear qualifications and has been delivered since September 2015.
