A-Level Sociology — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level Sociology?

In a typical course order the first year covers Education with Theory & Methods and Research Methods in Context, and the second covers Crime & Deviance with Theory & Methods and Beliefs in Society OR Media OR Families. The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.

What does A-Level Sociology cover?

Across the two years the course covers 4 units: Education with Theory & Methods, Research Methods in Context, Crime & Deviance with Theory & Methods and Beliefs in Society OR Media OR Families. Unit names and grouping vary by board.

How long does A-Level Sociology tutoring take?

It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
