Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification which is examined by AQA is a standalone qualification designed to extend and develop students’ skills in independent research and project management. The EPQ is awarded UCAS points worth half an A Level and is recognised by universities as a valuable qualification, with some top universities making alternative offers to students undertaking an EPQ. The skills acquired not only help students to make the transition from school to university but enable them to carry out wider reading and develop a deeper interest in their subject which will support and strengthen their university applications.
