Recommended Entry Requirements
- Grade 5 GCSE Biology or Combined Science
- Grade 5 English and Mathematics
- A genuine interest in studying the human mind and our behaviour.
What are the deeper reasons behind our behaviour? Why do some conform and some rebel against society or even become criminals? Sociology is full of debates and disagreements!
Using your own experience, you will examine how the society you live in works and test those ideas against the arguments and evidence put forward by thinkers and researchers.
Sociology is a really engaging A Level and you will develop skills in critical analysis, independent thinking and research; skills valued at universities and the workplace.
