You can tailor what you study to extend your A levels and personalise your further education/career goals (it is worth half the UCAS points of a full A Level). There is variety of formats in which you can present the work you complete: a dissertation, an investigation/field study, a performance, or an artefact. You could study medical ethics if you want to go into the medical profession, human rights as you want to study law or perhaps clothes design because you want to work in the world of fashion. The choice is limitless. It also enables you to develop and improve your ability to be a critical, reflective, and independent learner; learning how to analyse, synthesis, evaluate and present your work to a high level. This can only support your progress in other subjects and looks fantastic in personal statements and job applications.

Many students will take 3 A Levels plus the EPQ. It will be completed alongside your 3 other courses. - 5 grade 5s which include maths and either English Language or Literature, or 5 grade 5s AND at least a 4 in maths and English Language or Literature.
You will be assessed on your ability to plan, manage, complete and review your project. You will start the EPQ in Year 12 and hand in your final submission at the start of Year 13. Your work will be marked internally by your tutor and moderated externally by Edexcel.
