Course summary

EPQ is a Level 3 standalone qualification designed to extend and develop your academic abilities beyond the A-level syllabus and prepare for university and/or your future career. Students get to plan and carry out research on a topic of their choice and is not covered by their other qualifications. They can take inspiration from something touched on in class or something personal and unrelated to their studies. They then use this research to produce either A written, research based report of approx. 5000 words or An artefact – a model, artwork, music, performance piece etc - accompanied by a shorter research based report of approx 2000 words The choice of topics is flexible and we encourage you to create a project themed around your future plans and interests.
