Study Skills

Course summary

The EPQ is an independent project that students will take complete ownership of. The students will be facilitated by committed supervisors. The students will complete a range of tasks including planning and researching a chosen topic or idea. Students will then use this research to produce a written report and, in the case of practical projects, an artefact or a production. The chosen topic must not be covered by other studied qualifications. The topic can be an extension of a theme or a completely new idea. Students can choose a topic that is a personal inspiration, a passion or an unrelated study. The students will document the design, progress and decision-making throughout the completion of the project. The students will be responsible for quality assuring their work to ensure the best possible outcomes. The students are expected to complete a short summative presentation that share the overall project evaluations and conclusions.
