Study Skills

Course summary

The EPQ requires a student to produce a single piece of work of their own choosing, showing evidence of planning, research and autonomous working. Universities like students to have completed an EPQ because it teaches the student the independent learning skills and the research skills required for university study. The project can be independent or linked to an A-Level subject. The work is entirely up to the student and it can be: • A design • A report with findings from an investigation or a study • A dissertation presenting an argument • An artefact - such as a painting or a sculpture, but must be accompanied by a work book • A performance - including music, drama and dance and accompanying work book
