Study Skills

Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) offers students the opportunity to create "a single piece of work, requiring a high degree of planning, preparation and autonomous working. The projects that students complete will differ by subject, but all will require persistence over time and research skills to explore a subject independently in real depth." The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is offered at Sherfield School with the aim of providing more able students with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to independently plan, research and write a 5,000 word dissertation style report on an area in which they have a specific interest e.g. medical research. Students are also required to deliver a small presentation on their research to a group of non-specialists.
