Course summary

EPQ stands for extended project qualification. It is a level 3 qualification, and at Beechwood this is delivered as a standalone qualification. Students are required to plan, research and carry out a project of their own choosing, deliver a presentation to a non-specialist audience and provide evidence of all stages of project development and production for assessment. A project product which consists solely of a research based written report should be approx.5000 words e.g. report of a scientific investigation, exploration of a hypothesis, extended essay or academic report. Where the chosen product is an artefact there must also be a research based written report of approx.1000 words. You may also like to include photos of each stage of development.
