Study Skills

Course summary

The EPQ is a stand-alone qualification that is equivalent to half an A Level qualification that has been developed to with the intention of strengthening the programme of Post 16 study by testing a wider range of skills. It provides a toolkit for you that better prepares you for higher education and employment. The skills that you develop through the Extended Project are excellent preparation for university level study, and many universities have endorsed it. You can refer to the Extended Project in your UCAS personal statements and at interview, to demonstrate some of the qualities that universities are looking for. You will be allocated a project supervisor who you will be timetabled to see once a week which will include a 1:1 meeting. There is a taught element and you will attend tutorials from time to time, but a lot of this project is down to you, your time management, your planning, your research and meeting deadlines independently.
