Extended Project Qualification

Extended Project Qualification

The EPQ is a research-based course and relies on students being able to motivate themselves to work independently.  Students design a research question related to their interests, studies or future career ambitions. They then produce a report based on their research and present this to an audience of their peers and teachers. The EPQ is recognised by universities as helping to develop the skills required for university study.  It is worth the equivalent of an AS qualification in terms of UCAS points.  This option is available to students who achieve an average GCSE grade of 7 or above.
