What the college says

Sociology is a fascinating and stimulating subject with something to appeal to everyone. It involves exploring and asking questions about the society in which we live. Studying Sociology offers students opportunities to gain a greater understanding of society and to make sense of their own experiences within it. Sociology can be both thought provoking and challenging because it forces people to rethink some of their common-sense views and assumptions. Why Choose Sociology Sociology is ideal for someone attracted to the idea of starting a subject from scratch - it is not necessary to have studied it to GCSE level. As Sociology gives an insight into many areas of life, it combines well with any other subject. It is particularly useful for someone to choose who does not wish to completely abandon either the arts or the sciences, as Sociology includes elements of both. Career Opportunities The knowledge and skills gained by the study of 'A'-Level Sociology make it a useful qualification for almost any career which involves working with people, for example, teaching, social work, nursing, the police, travel and leisure.
