A-Level Sociology (AQA)

It’s often said that the function of sociology is to reveal that which is hidden; why do people behave the way they do? What governs our everyday interactions, and what drives social change? If you’re fascinated by questions like these, then look no further than AQA A-Level Sociology.

As a cornerstone of social science, sociology overlaps several unique disciplines that study society, such as economics, psychology, and political science. A-Level Sociology provides a range of essential, transferable skills including analysis, problem-solving, critical thinking, and research, all of which are invaluable in just about any career, as well as higher education.
