“Sociology offers a distinct and highly illuminating perspective on human behaviour. Learning Sociology means taking a step back from our own personal interpretations of the world, to look at the social influences which shape our lives”
-Baron Antony Giddens-
Sociology is the study of how and why people behave as they do and the social influences that mould their actions and views. In all A level units, students are encouraged to show their understanding of the links between the nature of sociological thought, the methods of sociological enquiry and the core themes of power, social inequality, socialisation, culture and identity. Candidates are encouraged to think holistically, developing their thinking, academic and personal skills in a new and proactive way.
