Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) gives students the opportunity to pursue their own academic interests and be guided by their own curiosity. The EPQ is an A level standard independent research qualification, that students can elect to complete alongside their other courses. Students choose their own topic and their own research question, producing either a 5000 word report, or an artefact accompanied by a shorter report. Throughout the course, students also create a ‘production log’, detailing the development of their project. Students are guided throughout the whole process by a project supervisor, and the Sixth Form’s EPQ co-ordinator.
