Course summary

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
