Course Overview

A Level pathways are designed to prepare you for higher education and beyond, be it a degree, research or a wide range of careers. In year one you will study the AS specification and take exams in May/June. If successful, you will progress to year two and complete the full A-level. Teaching for this course is delivered in a variety of engaging methods such as small group work, presentations, quizzes, debates and practical research. In the first year of the course, you will study AS Sociology. This is a stand-alone qualification that is co-taught with A Level Sociology. The research you undertake will allow you to experience some of the practical, ethical and methodological issues that sociologists encounter in their fieldwork.

Work Experience All students are required to complete a minimum of 20 hours of work experience in both year one and year two. This will help develop the personal qualities and skills required by universities and employers.
