Sociology is the study of society. The GCSE will explore concepts such as the family, the media, social class, politics, crime and deviance, education, social inequality and the role they all play in determining how we live our lives in the UK today. 
Studying Sociology will give students a fundamental understanding of the structure of society and external factors that affect human behaviour. The subject gives an excellent contemporary awareness of issues facing our society both past and present and also develops students written and verbal skills.
Sociology is an excellent subject for understanding other people, cultures and traditions and will be highly beneficial for careers in government, education, criminal justice system, social work and healthcare.
