Frequently Asked Questions

Visit our full FAQ

What GCSE do you need for A Level Sociology?

At high school, you typically need a GCSE grade C (or 4) in English Language and sometimes in a humanities subject, such as History or Religious Studies. However, specific requirements can vary by institution, so it's advisable to check with the specific college or school you plan to attend. However, for online study, you do not need any previous qualifications, it would only be a recommendation to have studied GCSE Sociology before the A-Level.

Do universities accept Sociology A Level?

Yes, universities widely accept Sociology A Level. It is respected for the analytical, critical thinking, and essay-writing skills it develops. Sociology provides insights into social structures, institutions, and behaviours, which can be useful for a range of university courses, especially in the social sciences. Degrees like sociology, psychology, social work, criminology, law, education, and even business or politics can value Sociology A Level. While some more specialised degrees may not require it, the skills it develops are transferable and appreciated in various academic disciplines.

Can you do Sociology A Level in 1 year?

To do A-Level Sociology in 1 year, we would recommend that you enrol on our online A-Level Sociology course here at CloudLearn (including the exam at your preferred exam centre). This can be done at the Study Plan section of our website. A-Level exams are just once per year in the summer, so you would start your studies a year before the exam. We recommend 360 guided learning hours for A-Level Sociology. Breaking down a 360 hour course into 1 year (52 weeks), works out at around 7 hours of study per week.
