- Overview
What will I study?
It is entirely up to you! You can choose any topic you like, but it must go beyond the demands of the specifications of your A Level subjects. You will be given a supervisor to help shape your topic and research, but the direction your project takes will be your decision to make.
The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a standalone qualification in addition to your A Levels which enables you to research a topic of your choice, create a project, and present your findings to a small group.
- Entry Requirements
Our A Level programme requires a minimum of 5 GCSE subjects at Grade 5.
- How will I be assessed?
You will complete a production log, a project, and complete a presentation.
- Progression Pathway
As a result of these skills, many universities offer our EPQ students places with lower A Level grades if they also achieve their Extended Project Qualification, making it ideal for high achievers who want to secure places at top universities.
