Study Skills

Course summary

The Level 3 Extended Project offers you a free project choice so you can explore in depth an aspect of a subject you are studying or a topic in which you have a personal interest. It is worth up to 28 UCAS points. The EPQ will help you develop and improve your critical, reflective and independent learning and to apply your decision-making and problem solving skills. You will need to utilise and extend your skills in planning, research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation. You will need to apply all these skills creatively and demonstrate initiative and enterprise. You will be assigned to a staff mentor/supervisor who will deliver the taught element of the project to include project management skills, research and presentation techniques, and methods of evaluation and analysis. These sessions may be teacher-led or include group discussion and feedback between peers.
