Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), is a qualification highly valued by top universities. We offer the EPQ as an additional qualification. If you choose to study the EPQ it requires you to research a topic that you have chosen and is not covered by your other qualifications. It may be inspired by your studies, your plans or a completely different area of interest. You use your research to produce either a 5000-word written report or, in the case of practical projects, an artefact or a production (with a shorter accompanying report of 1000 words). You will complete a production log which details your planning and decision making and you will also be required to give a short presentation to a non-specialist audience. The EPQ provides an opportunity for you to extend your research and independent learning skills beyond your A-level study to learn about a subject of your choice, about which you are passionate; and to prepare for university or even to link to your future career.
