What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) has proved to be popular with students and teachers alike. It provides an opportunity for students to extend their abilities beyond the A Level syllabus, stand out and prepare for university or their future career. Students applying for vocational courses in the future, (e.g: veterinary medicine) have found an EPQ related to their course has been particularly useful. Many students also use their EPQ as a way of showing their chosen university that they have a real passion for a subject. It can also be used to earn extra UCAS points.

What you need to get on

There are no specific entry requirements. Students have the opportunity to undertake an EPQ qualification alongside their 3 or 4 A Level subjects in Year 12 but will not complete this until Year 13.

How you are assessed

Entry level and Level 1 study, English and maths retakes, and supported programmes.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
