Sociology students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to better engage with the social world around them and the diversity which its citizens experience . Our curriculum will empower students to become inquisitive individuals who are able to critically assess, reflect and challenge our rapidly changing world.
Sociological Theory | Are we responsible for our own behaviour and do we have free will or are our actions shaped by societal structures?
Do we agree on the same norms, values and goals of society or are different groups in conflict with each other? |
||||
Social Institutions | Do these institutions help or hinder us to live our most successful lives?
What case studies/contemporary examples can we draw on? |
||||
Research Methods | Research methods: positivism v. interpretivism, quantitative v. qualitative.
How do different research methods help or hinder us to explore different sociological ideas? How can you determine the truth of a concept? Should Sociology be a science? Should Sociology be value-free? |
The Sociology A-Level curriculum is designed based on the following principles:
Phase 6 | Building choice, autonomy and empowered professionalism |
Phase 6 Journey | Students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to appreciate both the diversity and challenges of our social world and feel empowered to critically assess their role within it. |
