What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 programme of study. You complete a research project based on a topic of your choice which for most students is related to one of their A level subjects. If you are intending to go to university, it is a good idea to choose a topic related to future studies. The topic can however be one that you are simply interested in. The EPQ helps to develop a range of extra study skills in preparation for university or work and is highly valued amongst higher educational institutions as it demonstrates dedication to independent learning. Some universities reduce their standard offer for students who gain a high EPQ grade (usually Grade A). The EPQ is worth up 28 UCAS points.
