Sociology is accepted for Social Policy, Criminology, Social Work, Education and related degrees. Many Psychology degrees also accept Sociology. It is not a traditional facilitating subject but is widely respected in the social sciences.

High-level answers don't just describe what Functionalists believe — they set up a contrast with Marxism or Feminism and evaluate which perspective better explains the evidence. This evaluative move is the difference between a grade B and a grade A.
A-Level Sociology requires students to apply multiple theoretical perspectives (Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, Interactionism) to social topics including education, crime and deviance, beliefs, and social stratification. Success depends on knowing the perspectives precisely and deploying them in evaluative essays. Private tutoring addresses the essay structure, perspective application and research methods component that separate grade A from grade B.
