he Extended Project is equivalent to 50% of an A Level, more than an AS Level which comes in at 40%. It is a single piece of work and can be undertaken on a topic of your own choosing, which may or may not be linked to your other A Level subjects. The Extended Project offers opportunities for students to: • Have significant input into the choice and design of an extended piece of work; • Develop and apply decision-making skills, problem- solving skills, initiative and enterprise; • Extend their planning, research, critical thinking, analytical, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills; • Use their learning experiences to support their personal aspirations for higher education and career development. The Extended Project is designed to complement and extend your qualifications in Sixth Form. It is looked upon favourably by universities and enables you to develop a topic of interest in further detail.
There are no specific entry requirements for the EPQ. Anyone can apply to take it, but you will need to be on top of all your studies to be considered. It needs to be worked on consistently throughout the year to ensure that it is beneficial to you. Conditional offers have been given from several Russell Group universities based on the successful completion of the EPQ to a high standard.
The Extended Project will help prepare you for degree-level studies and employment, by developing your planning, research, critical thinking, presentation and independent learning skills. It will also help you to use your initiative in solving problems and making decisions. You can choose any topic and you will be required to write a report of 5,000 words. Alternatively, you could create an artefact, and write a 1,000-word report on the artefact and its creation. The artefact could be almost anything. The final part of the assessment involves presenting your ideas to a panel of invited guests. You will be required to accompany your product (either written or artefact-based) with a production log which will detail your progression through your EPQ with any problems you might have encountered.
