With competition for University places so fierce, anything that strengthens your application and makes you stand out from the other applicants is worth a look. EPQ is an individual project that you choose, propose, develop and then present. It could be an essay on a particular area of History, a research project on an aspect of primary school teaching, a piece of art, developing a video game or building a robot! You tailor it to whatever interests you and to the course, apprenticeship or employment you may be considering beyond Year 13. You come up with the project and, with the guidance of a supervisor, maintain a log of how it progresses as you complete it. Why consider EPQ? It enables you to develop vital skills, including research and project development, as well as demonstrating your aptitude for Higher Education. Moreover, not only does it make you stand out as a serious candidate with a genuine interest in the subject you’re applying to study, it is highly respected by Universities including Durham, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, and many others.
5 GCSEs at a standard pass grade and at least a grade 4 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics.
