Sociology

Sociology is the study of human life and social relationships. Students will seek to investigate and explain the social world and our behaviour in it. This involves looking at how we live, and how we are influenced and shaped through being members of groups and organisations.

The Year 10 syllabus focusses on ‘The Family’ and ‘The Education System’, while year 11 looks at ‘Crime and Deviance and Social Stratification’.

Through the study of Sociology, students may look at the world around them through completely new lenses as they become exposed to new ways of thinking and new theories that seek to explain social phenomenon. As well as this, students will continue to develop their analytical skills while learning to evaluate the validity and reliability of legitimate sociological research studies that have been carried out.
