What the college says

The EPQ is excellent preparation for university as it is mirrors the style of research and assessment you will encounter in higher education. For those not planning on university, it showcases deep knowledge of a topic of your choice which can feed into any future career choices. It is simply a brilliant opportunity to pursue your interests in any topic of your choice. The EPQ can be studied in either your first or second year but there are restrictions on numbers in the first year and, in the case of over-sbuscription, students will be selected on the strength of their GCSE qualifications.
