What the college says

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) allows students to extend their abilities beyond the A Level syllabus and prepare for university or their future career. It is worth half an A Level (28 UCAS points) so can be used to earn extra UCAS points. It is now recognised widely amongst universities as an accompaniment to the traditional choice of 3 subjects at A Level. It is graded from A*-U and is based on a topic chosen by the student which can be completed in a variety of formats from the more traditional essay style project, through to those who wish to produce an artefact, event, piece of art, exhibition - this list is endless!
