“I absolutely love Sociology, I have loved it since I started studying it at 16. It is so relevant to every area of society and helps you have a real insight and empathy for the people around you. It is an academic subject with lots of essays and writing, however there are always discussions and debates. Everyone ends up opening up and learning lots about each other in Sociology.”

“I chose to study at Rainhill Sixth Form due to small class sizes. I constantly achieved and exceeded my predicted grade. The class felt very comfortable with debating with one another or chatting about personal matters without the fear of being judged. I would recommend studying Sociology for anyone who has a passion of standing up to injustice in society, learning about how criminals interact with the world, how governments get away with corporate crime, or how lives are vastly different depending on where you live on the planet.”
