What the college says
The Extended Project is a one year course that provides you with the opportunity to explore an idea or hobby that really interests you. It is equivalent to an AS Level and will teach you skills that are valued by employers and universities. This course is for you if you are self-motivated and enjoy working independently – whether in a practical way, like designing or performing, or researching, investigating and writing.
What you need to get on
In addition to the general entry requirements for the Herschel Consortium, you will need the ability to work independently on a project, manage your time effectively and meet deadlines.
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.
