Course summary

The EPQ requires students to carry out research on a topic that they have chosen that is not covered by their other qualifications. They then use this research to produce a written report and, in the case of practical projects, an artefact or a production. A student can take inspiration from something studied in class or something completely unrelated to their studies.

Entry requirements

The entry requirements for students taking 3 or 4 A levels are seven GCSE's at Grade 4-9, or equivalent, including English and Maths. While a Grade 6 at GCSE is preferable for studying a subject at A Level, we will consider students who achieve a Grade 5 in the subject, depending on circumstances. 5 = English 4 = Mathematics
