What the college says

As a student of Sociology, you will be challenged to re-evaluate your understanding of your own autonomy (independence). We are taught to see ourselves as masters of our own fate, as free agents charting our own course through life. Sociology challenges that understanding. The course is a suitable foundation for the study of sociology or a related area of higher education courses such as criminology or law. Sociology can be used to support vocational studies such as health and social care, nursing and social work. Learners will be offered a choice of topics that include families, youth culture, the community, education, religion, mass media, crime, politics, health and disability, social divisions and world sociology.

What you need to get on

5 GSCEs at grade 9-5, including grade '6' in English Language and grade '5' in GCSE Sociology (if studied previously).
