What the college says

For this project you have the choice to study whatever you like! Any subject that you are interested in can be turned into a question that you will answer by researching at length and completing an essay or artefact to show your conclusions. You will document your journey on a log which allows you to reflect on the way you are learning. Universities are very supportive of the EPQ, recognising the advance academic studying that it involves, and sometimes make a lower offer to students who attain a high grade in the EPQ. By taking responsibility for the choice, design and decision making of an individual project, students: • Become more critical, reflective and independent learners • Develop and apply decision-making and problem-solving skills • Increase their planning, research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills • Learn to apply technologies confidently • Demonstrate creativity, initiative and enterprise
