Overview

If you are already teaching Sociology you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

New introductory topics have been added, such as the sociology of youth, to help make the subject more enjoyable to teach and study.

Further benefits to you and your learners

  • A combination of traditional and contemporary topics, helping learners develop perspectives on their own experience of the social world.
  • The chance for learners to communicate their knowledge and understanding in interesting and creative ways, which encourages them also to analyse different aspects of contemporary society.
  • The opportunity for learners to develop and demonstrate applied sociological research skills, which gives excellent progression to our A Level Sociology.
  • A unitised approach to teaching, giving you and your learners more flexibility.
  • More consistency - topics will not change every year, so you can become more familiar with the subject and be more confident teaching it.
  • A wide range of support materials, to save you time while you're preparing for the new specification and to make teaching and studying the subject more enjoyable.
