Sociology A Level

UPDATED 20160407 16:48:05

Sociologists study the relationship between individuals and society. This course requires and encourages you to develop a critical view of the world that you live in and question some of the opinions and stereotypes that exist in society. Sociology is not just about Britain, it also deals with global issues including the environment, migration and 'globalization' itself. This course consists of the following components: Socialisation & Culture, Youth Cultures and Media; Methods of Sociological Enquiry; and Social Stratification & Inequality and World Sociology. In the first year students gain an understanding of the themes of culture and socialisation and apply these issues to the role of youth cultures and the media in contemporary society. Alongside these topics you will also learn about the main research methods sociologists use in their research. In the second year the core themes are social inequalities and stratification. We will explore in detail the nature and causes of inequalities both within the UK and globally.
