A Level Sociology:
A strong foundation for progression and success

Get the qualifications you need from home study in your spare time

A Levels are widely recognised as the gold standard of the British education system and our abilities, even in later life, are still measured against it.

If, for whatever reason, you did not achieve the A Level results you know you were capable of, here is the chance to put matters right. The good news is that distance learning students are amongst the most successful candidates at A Level.

The DCA Home Learning course will enable you to acquire knowledge and a critical understanding of contemporary social processes and structures. You will appreciate the significance of theoretical and conceptual issues in sociological debate as well as understand sociological methodology and a range of research methods. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own experience of the social world in which you live. There will be a focus on contemporary society and, where appropriate, comparative and/or historical materials may be introduced. This course will also enable you to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the connections between the nature of sociological thought, methods of sociological enquiry and substantive sociological topics.
