GCSE COURSES
SOCIOLOGY
GCSE
Sociology is the study of human society; it draws on a
variety of viewpoints in order to understand the social
world around us. In this course you will learn about how
society shapes people’s ideas and behaviour and you
will relate this to your own experience of living in British
society.
You will also study how societies change over time and
how societies differ across cultures. You will look at how
gender, ethnicity and social class affects our lives. This
course will help you to think critically about the world and
explore different perspectives on society by drawing on
sociological theories and key studies.
