What the college says

The Extended Project is based on either an extended essay or report of 5000 words, or an artefact supported by a shorter report. It will be undertaken on a topic of your own choosing, which may be linked to your A Level subjects, but will lead you to explore an area outside of them. Note that this course is normally started towards the end of your first year. Note that the EPQ is worth 50% of the UCAS points of an A level.

What you need to get on

Available to all A level students (usually started towards the end of Year 1). A willingness to manage an additional qualification on top of your A level subjects is critical.

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.
