Overview

A-Level Sociology aims to develop a critical understanding of society by examining the most important institutions within the social structure. Sociology is a stimulating and relevant subject, offering students the opportunity to develop a range of transferable skills. Sociology is the study of how human society develops and changes and how people interact with one another.

The central aim of the A-Level in Sociology is to examine relationships and inequalities between people and the effects of the social, economic and political influences may have on them.

A-Level Sociology is a linear qualification that follows the AQA specification. Linear means that students will sit all the A-Level exams at the end of their A-Level course.
