A-Level Sociology

Curriculum

​Sociology is the study of human society and behaviour, including the way that factors like gender, wealth, class and ethnicity effect education, opportunities, identity, crime etc.
 
Studying Sociology at A level enables students to understand and reflect on life in contemporary Britain and the world around them. It also fosters valuable analytical skills such as investigating facts, critical thinking and forming strong, persuasive arguments.
 
At school we follow the AQA exam board (Sociology 7192), and the course is assessed through three exams at the end of year 13. Each exam is two hours long, and they cover the following topics:
Paper 1: Education with Theory and Methods
Paper 2: Culture and Identity and Beliefs in Society
Paper 3: Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods
 
Past papers and marks chemes are available at on the AQA A-Level Sociology link. 

To succeed at A Level in Sociology, as well as working hard in lessons and completing homework, students should be prepared to read widely to develop their interest in current affairs, issues, policy and society and to think critically about what they see and read.
 
Newspapers or online news apps are a good starting point, but you could also try the following books and websites:

  • www.revisesociology.com
  • The Teacher Sociology: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6VpoZj33Df_rNb8KymCczw
  • Judith Butler, Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
  • Owen Jones, Chavs: The Demonisation of the Working Class
  • Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson, The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone
  • Louis Theroux, The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures
  • Sudhir Venkatesh, Gang Leader for a Day
