Course summary

When you apply to University at the start of Year 13, it is great to be able to show that you have already gained a Level 3 qualification. The EPQ builds skills that Universities and Apprenticeship placements will desire and so it shows your determination, and academic ability and is widely recognized as an excellent qualification. Some Universities will take it into account in your contextual offer and may lower the A-level grades you are required to achieve to secure your place.

Entry requirements

We require the general requirements of entry to the Sixth Form. This course is done alongside your three A Levels and is completed during Year 12.

How you'll be assessed

This qualification is worth 1/3 of one A Level and is an addition to your three subject choices. An extended essay of about 6,000 words or creating a product with an accompanying shorter essay of about 1,000 words. This product could be anything from a drone to an app to music composition. This will then be presented to a small group of school staff in a presentation.
