The Extended Project Qualification is a standalone qualification that is rather like a mini-thesis. You are allowed to choose whatever topic you like (it does not have to be related to your A levels) and is therefore very adaptable according to your own interests. It is therefore accessible to everyone regardless of your subject combination or ability level. The Extended Project Qualification provides an opportunity for you to exercise your abilities beyond the A-level specification and prepare for university or your future career. The EPQ allows you to embark on a largely self-directed project. You start by taking responsibility for the choice and design of an individual project. This is an exciting opportunity for you to develop your own academic or cultural interests. The area of study is almost limitless, so it is possible to produce anything from an academic essay to an animated cartoon. The project will normally be completed by the Trinity Term of the Lower Sixth when you will present your work to peers and staff.
