Study Skills

Course summary

The EPQ is a stand-alone qualification that has the ‘value’ of half an A Level. It is a free-standing project which a student conducts on a topic of their choosing with final submission in the Autumn Term or Spring Term of the Upper Sixth. It runs alongside other subjects and does not have to be based in a subject studied in the Sixth Form. Most projects are influenced by university or career intentions and the EPQ can be an excellent way of showing interest in areas in which boys wish to study or work.
