Exam board: AQA
Sociology is the study of human societies. It is a social science which explores how social groups act, and the impact it has on individuals.
Curious about why people act the way they do? GCSE Sociology lets you explore crime, family, media, and inequality. Debate ideas, challenge stereotypes, and see society in a whole new way. If you love asking questions, thinking critically, and understanding the world around you, Sociology is for you!
