Sociology A  Level About A  Levels A levels are subject-specific qualifications normally studied after GCSEs or International GCSEs, though they are appropriate at any age to gain a qualification in a subject in which you are interested. The qualification is made up of two levels: the AS level & the A2 level. The AS level is the first half of a full A level & is a qualification on its own. The A2 level builds on the knowledge gained from both the AS level, as well as the GCSE level. Both the AS & A2 levels & examinations must be successfully completed to gain a full A level. Students usually take 1 year to complete the AS & a further year to complete the A2
- so a full A level usually takes two years. This fast track A level, however, lets you complete the course in half the time (i.e. one year instead of two years). The fast track A level works in exactly the same way & you get the same certificate as you would on the two-year course. A levels are highly valued by schools, colleges & employers. They are at level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework & they carry UCAS points, which will be awarded according to the grade achieved (A = 120, B = 100, C = 80). Many courses at university or college will require you to take A levels in certain subjects. We recommend you check the requirements for those courses & take the appropriate subject A levels. About Our A Level Sociology Studies Course This A level Sociology course aims to give you some fundamental & lasting insights into how human societies are constructed; how they influence our beliefs & daily lives.

As well as learning about how society influences individual lives, you will also learn how to express yourself coherently, how to challenge & evaluate information presented to you & how scientific information is produced. The course lays an appropriate foundation for further study of Sociology & related subjects in higher education. In addition, it provides a worthwhile course for candidates of various ages & from diverse backgrounds in terms of general education & lifelong learning. Equally, material studied would be useful for candidates intending to pursue careers in any of the Social Sciences. Sociology is a dynamic, ever changing subject with new information & studies constantly confirming or challenging existing theories & producing new ones. The subject matter of sociology is uniquely around & within you, it is essential that you are curious about the why’s & how’s of society's processes in all settings from cradle to grave, from peer groups to institutions like schools & the class system. The purpose of this course is to help students look around them in a more analytical manner, to understand & question why things are the way they are, & what can be done to change the more negative aspects of our society.
