Study Skills

Course summary

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.
