What the college says
The Extended Project (EPQ) is a stand-alone qualification that is worth up to 28 UCAS points. As students have the freedom to select their subject, it can support their practical, work-related approach to learning or be an extension of their A Level studies. The Extended Project offers a range of exciting opportunities for students. It provides them with the skills that higher education is looking for, by encouraging independent study, critical thinking and teamwork. It may also be useful when they’re applying for university to help them ‘stand out from the crowd’.
