Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a standalone qualification that is usually undertaken in addition to other timetabled A-Level or BTEC studies. It provides students with an opportunity to extend their academic abilities beyond their other, taught Sixth Form courses, helping them to stand out and prepare for university or their future careers. Students are responsible for choosing their project's focus and its design, encouraging them to: • become more critical, reflective and independent learners • develop and apply decision-making and problem-solving skills • increase their planning, research, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills • learn to apply technologies confidently • demonstrate creativity, initiative and enterprise
