AS/A2 Sociology

UPDATED 20160323 11:53:22

A-level Sociology offers students the opportunity to develop the essential knowledge and understanding of central aspects of sociological thought and methods. It is designed to encourage students to demonstrate the application of a range of skills and consider the integration of sociological themes:  socialisation, culture and identity  social differentiation, power and stratification. By taking sociology, you will become a much more informed, questioning and critical citizen of society. Furthermore, you will gain a completely different way of thinking about the world around you, and here is a promise; you will never look at the world in the same way again. You will learn valuable skills, working independently, as well as in a team, to find and extract information, how to conduct research, interpret statistics, analyse information and write in an evaluative way.
