OxfordAQA International GCSE Sociology (9292)

Marlbridge's summary of the course

OxfordAQA's International GCSE and A-level Sociology qualifications, available for first teaching from September 2026, offer students a powerful lens for understanding the world around them — from families and education to inequality and globalisation.

The board's own description is on the official OxfordAQA syllabus page.

Paper 1 covers families, education and research methods; Paper 2 covers differences and inequalities, socialisation and social control, and research methods, with the two papers equally weighted and no coursework. This is a newly launched specification with no prior OxfordAQA GCSE Sociology to succeed: first teaching September 2026, first examined May/June 2028.

Specifications change between examination series. Always confirm the current syllabus and assessment structure on the OxfordAQA syllabus page for your examination year.

Source: official OxfordAQA specification, verified 2026-08-28. Directly confirmed against the official live "Assessment" section of a brand-new specification (the page itself is titled "NEW: International GCSE Sociology (9292)" and states "For first teaching from September 2026, with first exams from May/June 2028"). Two equally weighted written papers, no coursework. First teaching began in September 2026 and OxfordAQA has no earlier International GCSE Sociology specification, so this is the current specification for this combination; no exam has been sat on it yet (first exams May/June 2028).
