What the college says

The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Extended Project allows learners to study a topic area which extends their learning in their area of study, as a standalone qualification. Learners select one of the four units, which may be completed over one or two years. They should select a project topic which expands their learning in their field of study, in a related area, or that is relevant to their own personal interests. Each of the four units offers a different type of project: a dissertation, an investigation/field study, a performance or an artefact. Learners will be assessed on their ability to plan, manage, complete and review their project. It can be completed over one or two years, and is assessed by a tutor-assessor from within the centre and externally moderated by Pearson. Ideal for students who want to expand their study areas, and increase their UCAS points
