DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE
Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociology’s subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to radical change in whole societies.
Cambridge IGCSE Sociology is accepted by schools, universities, and employers as proof of knowledge and understanding. Successful Cambridge IGCSE Sociology candidates gain lifelong skills.
