Sociology

This two-year linear course equips students with a profound understanding of the society they inhabit. It explores how society influences individuals' thoughts, social behaviours, and cultures, and conversely, how people collectively shape their world.

​

The course includes a combination of content learned in lessons, debates and discussions, independent research, and essay writing. Students are encouraged to think critically, analyse and evaluate theoretical perspectives, and apply sociological concepts to real-world scenarios.

​

Before embarking on this course, a genuine interest in broader social issues is essential. A basic understanding of 
British society's historical context from 1945 onward is advantageous.
