What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification is an exciting opportunity for students to engage in university style learning whilst attaining a prestigious qualification. Students follow an area of personal interest whilst engaging in research, critical thinking, planning and evaluation; all skills that universities particularly value in undergraduates. There will be one taught lesson per week focussing on higher level research skills and at least 90 hours of independent study. You will produce either a 5000-word dissertation or an artefact (e.g. artwork, novel, music, design product etc.) together with a short written report. You will have regular meetings with your supervisor and individual support. Students are awarded a grade from A*-E with a value in UCAS points of half an A level.

What you need to get on

Each student's suitability for the course will be assessed in the summer term of Year 12.
