Study Skills

Course summary

At East Leake Academy, students can opt to undertake an EPQ qualification at post 16 level, alongside their A level options. This is a highly recognised and valuable qualification to support university applications. It consists of an independent research project on a topic chosen by the student. The student must produce a 5,000-word essay or create a ‘product’ plus a 1,000-word essay. Students work independently on their project but will be guided and supported by teachers.
