Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

Course summary

The EPQ allows students to discover the joys of independent learning, take responsibility for their own study and develop new life and study skills. The student is required to: Choose an area of interest - this can be as an extension of their chosen subjects or an extension of their extra-curricular activities and interests. With supervision, formulate a title or question for the project and put forward the aims they wish to achieve. Plan, research and complete the project. Deliver a presentation to an audience. Provide a written assessment of the project at all stages to show development and a final conclusion. Universities support and value the EPQ as evidence of a student’s ability to use a range of skills that are vital for successful study in higher education.
