Sociology

Why Study Sociology?
Sociology is the study of how society is organised and how we experience life. It is relevant to the society we live in so you will learn about contemporary topics often at the heart of
national debates.

Sample Course Content:
Education with Theory and Methods; Topics in Sociology (Families and Households and Beliefs in Society); Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods.
 

Career Value:
Sociology is an academic essay-based subject that equips students with a range of skills beyond those of the core curriculum, such as independent critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical writing. All of this is good preparation for almost any university degree. In terms of careers, sociologists go on to work in the media, law, social work, criminal justice and public relations, to name a few.
 

Enrichment Opportunities:
As well as the exciting opportunities that the course itself brings we will also arrange visits to see the subject in action in the real world, organise school journeys to enhance learning in the classroom and invite in subject specific speakers.
