Entry Requirements

This Level 3 project qualification is offered to all students in their Lower Sixth year. Like an AS level, it is essentially half an A-level in terms of size and, like other A-levels, it is graded A*-E, with an A* awarded 28 UCAS points. After an introduction to the assessment objectives and research skills, students are invited to submit a research proposal. If their proposal successfully meets the criteria set down by AQA then students will be able to take over the management of their project and work independently to agreed deadlines and a final submission date in March of their Upper Sixth year.
