Extended Project Qualification

Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) offers Sixth Form students the opportunity to study a topic of their choice in depth. It is a free-standing qualification and its purpose is to add a further dimension to Sixth Form studies and to stretch and challenge. It is widely welcomed by universities, with some altering entry requirements for those with a high grade in this qualification. One of the key features of the EPQ is its flexibility, as students are required to produce a substantial piece of work, which can take the form of a research paper, an extended essay, or even a creative project. You can choose to study an EPQ alongside three other subjects.
