The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) provides you with an opportunity to explore a topic that interests you. The EPQ can only be taken as a fourth A Level course to complement your three main subject choices. EPQ has no exams, just coursework, so you’ll need to be self-motivated and enjoy working independently. You will learn skills that are highly valued in Higher Education, such as research, developing arguments, organisation and presentation skills. The EPQ carries UCAS points and is highly regarded by many universities. It can’t be used against a grade offer (such as AAA) but some universities may offer an alternative for candidates studying the EPQ (such as ABB instead of AAB).
