What the college says

Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) involves conducting research in almost any area which the candidate chooses. Students will have taught sessions which cover a range of research and presentation skills. These taught skills include: organisation and planning, problem solving, credibility, editing reports, presentation skills and public speaking, copyright and plagiarism, evaluating research, interviews, surveys and questionnaires, interpreting graphs, charts and data, using the library and the internet and referencing. The course is highly regarded and is an appropriate fourth choice for any candidate wishing to proceed into higher education.
