What the college says

Students study three units in total. At AS level students focus on studying education, families and households and research methods. Students address questions such as does belonging to a different social class/ethnicity affect your right to education? Why does birth rate change across different social groups?. Other options include culture and identity, and wealth, poverty and welfare. At A level students study education, beliefs in society where they look at the relationship between different social groups and religious organisations and movements. Crime and deviance involves looking at the social distribution of crime according to age, gender, ethnicity and social class. The theory and methods unit involves looking at the nature of science and the extent to which sociology can be regarded as scientific. AS Sociology will be examined one by paper at the end of the AS year. A level sociology will be examined by three papers at the end of the two year course.
