What the college says
The study of Sociology will allow you to develop a deep understanding of Contemporary British Society and how society has changed over time, together with the factors that have contributed to these changes.

How you are assessed
Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.
What this level means
The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
