Extended Project

What the college says
The EPQ is a self-motivated project that carries the same UCAS points as an AS level. You will complete the project over the course of Y12. There are several types of EPQ: you can write a research-based report, put on an event like a fashion show or charity fundraiser, or make something – like a piece of art or a game. It requires self discipline and independent research on a topic of your own choice. You will have regular meetings with a supervisor and take a programme of skills lessons, but it is much more self-motivated than most qualifications. What you study and how you do it is up to you.
What you need to get on
Students must have achieved the minimum entry requirements as stated in the sixth form prospectus.
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.

Who else teaches this exact qualification
Same qualification, different college. Entry requirements and how it is taught can differ a lot between them, which is the whole reason to compare.
