The Level Three Extended Project Qualification is usually undertaken as an enrichment option, to supplement other courses of A Level study. There are 30 hours of taught or supervised time, covering research and analytical skills, academic referencing systems, and presentation techniques. The remaining part of the course (approximately 90 hours) is comprised of independent work. Candidates are placed under the supervision of a member of staff throughout the process, and several formal meetings are held as the project is completed. The qualification aims to encourage students in independent work, reflective learning, data analysis, practical application of data and new technologies, planning, time management, and problem-solving skills. The project allows students to investigate a particular topic out of pure interest. The outcome of the project can be a written report, or an artifact such as a painting, performance, or product supported by a short research piece.
You should be confident that you will be able to either carry out academic research or produce something and reflect upon the production process in an academic manner. Further, you should be able to work independently and be able to manage your time effectively.
The project is marked internally and moderated externally. Candidates can submit work in May or November. Successful completion of the project requires a production log, the project outcome, and evidence of a presentation. There are four assessment objectives – management and planning, use of resources, review and reflection, and realizing the project.
