What the college says

Sociology is the study of how Society works, how individuals fit into it and explores our interaction with others. Sociology has been described as ‘scientific study of human group behaviour’ and ‘the application of scientific inquiry to the puzzles of social life’. Studying A Level Sociology will help students to gain a rounded view of our society – we will look objectively at societal issues, weighing up different viewpoints. We will look at how the different parts of Society fit together, as well as the causes and consequences of social change. It is a thoughtprovoking subject that enhances our understanding of the world around us. Some of the topics cross-over well with those from Government & Politics, Media Studies, Psychology & History. The skills required to do well on A Level Sociology are similar to those in English (essay writing), History (critical reflection) and Psychology (research).
