Extended Project
at The Blue School, Wells · school or sixth form
What the college says
All sixth form students are encouraged to take part in at least one activity additional to their main programme of study. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is offered as part of this. It is a Level 3 course which requires students to create a research project, involving a high degree of planning, preparation and autonomous working. The project that you complete will be your choice, but will require research skills to explore independently in considerable depth. Many Universities and Higher Apprenticeships welcome applications from EPQ qualified students as it demonstrates evidence of motivation to explore a subject in greater depth.
