What the college says

A Level Sociology is a diverse and interesting subject that will challenges yourperceptions of everyday life. As part of the AQA specification, you will study the impact of vital social institutions such as the family, the education system and the criminal justice system on individuals and groups. Additionally, we will explore global sociology and look at the increasingly divisive relationship between the developing world and the developed world. To study this subject, you should be keen on reading and thinking about controversial ideas, conflicting arguments and evidence. You should be prepared to develop your ability in essay writing. This course involves studying statistics and trends so you must be ready to think in an analytical way. A Level Sociology is recognised by employers and universities alike as an excellent qualification showing literacy, numeracy, scientific ability and insight into human situations. Spanning, as it does, the boundary between science and arts, it can be useful in getting into many higher education courses from medicine to philosophy and literature. It is also an asset in business, management, education and many other fields of employment requiring an understanding of human relationships and experience. .
