The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) allows students to select an area of personal interest and complete an investigation into that subject. Completing the EPQ develops organisational, project management and independent learning skills which will be of considerable benefit to students as they progress through their Sixth Form studies. The Extended Project Qualification is worth half an A Level in terms of UCAS points but whether you are considering university or employment the Extended Project Qualification will help you to stand out from the other applicants, particularly if you choose a topic which compliments your plans for the future.
