An Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a standalone qualification that involves students choosing a topic, carrying out research, writing a report (or creating a ‘product’ and report), and delivering a presentation to a non-specialist audience. There are two types of EPQ; students can write a research-based report, or create an artefact. Although the choice of project is wide and varied, students should show that it is academically useful, either relating to their current course of study or future career. A research-based project involves writing a 5,000-word report or the artefact involves a report of between 1,000 and 5,000 words
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
Students are assessed holistically in the EPQ rather than specific components having a specific weighting. The work that is assessed is a production log (that details the students’ decision-making and progression throughout the EPQ); a presentation; and a 5000-word report (or an artefact and a report of between 1000 and 5000 words).
