The Extended Project is a separate qualification that A Level students do as part of their second year and is designed to demonstrate the ability to plan and write an extended piece of writing. It is the equivalent of one AS Level (although unlike other AS Levels an A* grade is possible) and is viewed very positively by employers and universities as it provides evidence of independent learning and project management skills. You have a free choice of project topic, so you can choose to explore a further aspect of a subject you’re studying, or another subject, or choose a topic in which you have a personal interest. You’ll meet with a member of staff (supervisor) weekly to discuss your progress.
There are no formal entry requirements other than being an A Level student. However, it would be expected that students would be motivated learners who enjoy research and working on their own.
