Overview
Sociology is about understanding how different things in the world affect us. This can be our parents, our friends, the government, our skin colour, and much more!
Over the two-year course, you will study a range of topics and concepts, including:
– Education and the Family
– Global Development and Crime
The key theoretical overviews of Marxism, Feminism, Functionalism and Postmodernism run through both years.
Am I right for the course?
If you are interested in understanding how social, economic and political issues shape our society, then this is the course for you! It will help you to develop empathy towards communities that differ from your own, increasing your awareness and understanding of a diverse range of ideas and beliefs.
Whilst Psychology looks at what goes on inside our bodies, Sociology looks at what happens on the outside, in the world around us. For this reason, it is important to be up to date with current affairs and to look at the world around you with a critical eye.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs at 5, with a minimum of a 6 in English Literature or English Language
You will sit various in-class assessments over the two-year course, leading up to formal exams at the end of the second year.
