University courses
University courses
Search degrees, check A-level, IB Diploma or AP subjects, or follow a pathway from school subjects to a career. None of these tools is an offer of a place.
Explore a pathway
Move between school subjects, a degree and possible work. A link is not an offer and not proof that a degree is enough for a regulated job.
Choose a branch, then a course.
Selected courseSociology
GCSE and IGCSE preparation
- English and mathematics
Often expected at GCSE or IGCSE. Grade thresholds differ, and International GCSEs are not automatically the same as GCSEs.
A-level subjects
Nothing to show for this stage yet.
University courses
- Sociology
Sociology rarely requires a named A level. Sociology, Psychology or a writing subject can help.
- Social work
An alternative or related degree, not automatically an equivalent qualification.
Possible careers
- Social worker
Related, but not enough on its own. Sociology does not confer social work registration. An approved social work qualification is separate.
- Police officer
Related, but not enough on its own. Policing does not require a sociology degree, and the degree is not police training.
This is a possible educational route, not an offer of a place and not a prediction of a job. Direct, common, alternative and postgraduate routes are not the same thing.
