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 GCSE Sociology is the qualification for you.

It 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 further education avenues.
