Study Skills

Course summary

At St George’s all Sixth Form pupils complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) alongside their A Level subjects. The EPQ is a fantastic opportunity to experience university-style study and expand your knowledge in an area of interest. It also teaches you some great skills that will be applicable at university and beyond, such as self-discipline and independent research. Completing an EPQ is a powerful demonstration that you have many of the fundamental requirements for success in your post-18 options, as it indicates motivation, discipline, research and presentation skills. In the Lower Sixth you will be given a series of timetabled lessons to develop your understanding of key elements of the EPQ, as well as an individual tutor who will help guide your progress to the completion of an excellent project.
