Study Skills

Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a totally independent piece of research on a subject of the student’s choice. The qualification takes a minimum of 120 hours to complete of which 30 hours will be ‘taught skills’. The qualification has been designed to develop skills that will be of benefit not only at university but also in the world of work. The project also gives students an opportunity to research an area of interest outside of their A level studies. The EPQ is a level three qualification; equivalent to half an A level.
