Sociology is a dynamic, ever changing subject with new information and studies constantly confirming or challenging existing theories and producing new ones. The subject matter of sociology is uniquely around and within you, it is essential that you are curious about the why’s and how’s of societies processes in all settings from cradle to grave, from peer groups to institutions like schools and the class system. The purpose of this course is to help students look around them in a more analytical manner, to understand and question why things are the way they are, and what can be done to change the more negative aspects of our society.

The full A level is made up of two separate courses/years that together equal a full A level qualification. These are the AS (first) and the A2 (second) qualifications.

Entry Requirements

• Basic English reading and writing skills, as full tutor support is given.

Previous Knowledge

• No requirement to have studied sociology previously. A pass at A-C GCSE in English and mathematics is desirable, but no formal qualifications are required. Although those who find reading and understanding broadsheet newspapers difficult will find the course more challenging.

Study Hours

• Course includes On-line Learning Documentation, On-line Resources and Tutor support for 2 years.

Qualification

• AS/A2 – A level in Sociology. Both AS and A2 level courses and examinations must be successfully completed to gain a full A level.

About the course –

The AS Level Sociology course consists of 6 modules, 3 for each unit. The modules are further broken down into clear subject topics. At the end of each topic is a set of key words, which you should be able to define as a revision exercise, as well as activities throughout the text to ensure understanding of important aspects of the topic.

Topic coverage may vary in length and difficulty depending on the level of detail and information required. You will need to study the modules in the sequence provided. There are three tutor marked assignments associated with each unit which should be sent to your tutor, as well as an introductory assignment to introduce yourself to your tutor.

Course outline –

The course is laid out as follows:

A Level in Sociology A2 -

Like the majority of academic subjects at A level, Sociology has its own distinct set of terms. You will be expected not only to recognise and understand these terms in examination papers, but be able to use them correctly in your answers. Psychology also contains many examples of research and different perspectives you will be required to know methodological details and results of many of these.

Students are recommended to have a notebook or index cards to develop a file of key words and Studies/researchers/perspectives as you go along in order to help with revision and evaluation skills.
