Sociology Careers

What uni courses does sociology at A levels allow you to take, and what careers do those courses relate to?
Hi Kai_mwahhh,

A-level Sociology leads to a wide range of university courses and careers that focus on understanding human behaviour, society, and social issues. It gives you valuable skills that can be applied in many industries, such as social services, politics and law.

At Oxford Brookes, many of our courses don't have specific subject requirements, so your A-level Sociology can help you progress into various degree programmes.

Employers highly value Sociology graduates for their strong research abilities, data analysis skills, and understanding of social and cultural diversity. These qualities make you an asset in any field. Sociology graduates often find careers in areas such as:

Local and national government

The Civil Service

Social services

Health promotion

Teaching

Marketing and advertising

Human resources

International development

Policy development

NGOs and charities


Where could a Sociology degree take you? The possibilities are endless!

I hope that this helps! Should you have any other questions, please drop them below 😊

Best wishes,

Clare
