What the college says

The aims of the course are to provide students in KS5 the opportunity to show case the independent learning skills required for Post A level study, pursue research into a personally chosen area of academic interest and to gain up to 28 additional UCAS points. EPQ offers students the opportunity to improve their recruitment potential by offering something additional to their A level programme. An increasing number of universities are including EPQ in their offers and offering a lower offer if a top grade in EPQ is achieved. Students often report that their motivation is increased by the opportunity to study a topic area of personal interest. It is certainly most satisfying to be able to apply the skills developed through an EPQ in other areas of learning EPQ is completed as a stand-alone qualification, which must entail extension from studies in any other qualification studied Post 16
