Study Skills

Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) project is a student-driven qualification, giving them the freedom and responsibility to select topics and projects they are interested in. When completing a project qualification, students follow a clearly structured process: they plan, research their topic and create a product. The product of their project can be in one of two formats: • a research-based written report • an artefact* (eg a piece of art, a computer game, a realised design) (*supported by a written report). This work is all recorded in their Production Log and, finally, students deliver a presentation. During the process, they develop as independent, reflective learners and acquire knowledge and transferable skills that are invaluable for further study and the workplace.
