Who this course is for

Sociology is the study of society and social behaviour. If you're curious about human nature, enjoy debates around contemporary issues such as equality, poverty, crime, religion and education, then sociology A level could be for you. You may already have some knowledge of the subject from GCSE but you don't need to have studied it already to do the A level course. It's a social science, so along with the subject matter, you'll also be introduced to research methods used to study the behaviour of people in the society in which they live. Sociology will give you a strong set of transferable skills including critical thinking, communication, research and problem solving.

Assignments are set by Pearson Edexcel and marked internally. External assessments are sat under exam conditions.
