The EPQ is equivalent to 50% of an A Level and is assessed at A Level standard. It will develop and extend from one or more of your study areas and/or from an area of personal interest outside your main programme of study. It is entirely flexible and will be based on a topic chosen by you. The final product can be equally flexible and can take the form of a 5000 word report (on any topic you can think of!) or an artefact. Artefacts can include: A piece of art (sculpture, painting etc), A piece of music, A video (trailer / documentary / music video) A script or performance, A short story or novella, A magazine Literally anything! If you choose an artefact, it must be accompanied by a 1000 word report, detailing your processes. Your project can take the form of whatever is most suitable for the topic. The EPQ is recognised and valued highly by universities, as it will clearly demonstrate your ability to manage your own workload and study independently.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course. However, you must choose a topic that will hold your interest and ensure you are self-motivated.
The EPQ is holistically assessed at final submission. The components of the project which contribute to the assessment are as follows: Final artefact and/or report Production Log Presentation Any other supporting evidence
