Course summary

This qualification will enable learners to take responsibility for their own learning through choosing, researching, creating and finally evaluating a project of their choosing. Students begin the course focusing on developing critical thinking and analysis skills or PLTS (personal, learning and thinking skills). This is an important aspect of the course as it helps students consider and critique their potential sources in terms of reliability and bias for example.

Entry requirements

The EPQ is an internally assessed qualification where pupils have the opportunity to direct their learning. There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification – it is an ideal opportunity to take the lead exploring a topic of their choosing and of their interest. For some projects, learners may need to work in a group. In these cases each learner must have a clearly distinguished role and produce their own individual evidence for the entire project which can be assessed independently of others’ contributions.
