What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is equivalent to an AS Level qualification, with the possibility of attaining an A* grade. The EPQ allows each student to embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project. Students must choose a topic, plan, research and develop their idea and decide on their finished product. We encourage creativity and curiosity. A project topic may be directly related to a student’s main study programme, but should look beyond the specification. Students will learn taught skills such as how to choose a topic and phrase a title; how to select, evaluate and reference research sources; how to structure an argument, as well as projectmanagement skills. A finished EPQ product may take the form of a: • Research based written report (5,000 words) • Production* (e.g. charity event, fashion show or sports event etc.) • An artefact* (e.g. piece of art, a computer game or realised design) *A written report must accompany these options.
