Sociology
Why AQA Sociology?
Our qualifications offer an engaging and effective introduction to Sociology. Students develop knowledge and understanding about society and how sociologists study. Our specifications will help students understand society's structures, processes and issues. Sociology is exciting, interesting and relevant to students' lives.
We have close links with higher education and the British Sociological Association (BSA). These allow us to keep up-to-date with sociological developments and ensure that our Sociology specifications are highly valued and develop a clear understanding of Sociology. This helps students as they progress to further study and employment.
We have a long history and market-leading track record of providing successful and high quality Sociology qualifications. We have continued to develop and improve with experience, teacher feedback and through working with the academic community.
