What the college says

Why study for an EPQ? The EPQ is a new qualification and, at Level 3, is worth ½ an A Level. It is an opportunity to do a project in a subject area in which you are interested. It provides a context for developing critical thinking and project management skills, which are widely transferable, and which will help you become a more confident pupil in other areas of study. The EPQ assesses your ability to plan, carry out, report on, and evaluate a project What will I study? This is an independently conducted research project. The choice of project is up to the individual pupil and can be related to their courses or personal interests. It utilises a lot of the study skills required of pupils at university – academic research, problem solving, communication (there is a formal presentation), rigorous analysis of findings, time management, writing an academic essay, reporting regularly to a supervisor and evaluation. Completing this project means that pupils gain experience of what will be required of them post 18.
