What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification is not something that you choose when you apply, it is something that you take up later in Year 12 as an additional qualification. It is equivalent to half of an A Level and takes about a year to complete. It is a particularly exciting and interesting qualification because you individually choose your own topic. You then research your topic and put together a 5000 word research project, or a product and evaluation. The independent study, research skills and writing skills involved are highly valued by universities and help EPQ students to bridge the gap between Sixth Form and University study.

What you need to get on

Grade 6 in English Language and the ability to be independent and take on the extra work.

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.
