Where A Level courses necessarily face time constraints and the need to cover a set specification, the EPQ gives pupils the greatest possible control over their area of investigation. This means that they choose their own content and focus. Bethany pupils have previously completed EPQs on jazz music, the battle of the Thermopylae, alternative medicines and the role of non-violent protest in Indian nationalism.
GCSE English Language grade 5 or above.
The EPQ has three parts to it. The first part is a record of procedure, a ‘log’ which charts the origins, progress and setbacks of a pupil’s investigation, and reflects, critically, upon what they have achieved over the course of completing the EPQ. Then there is the ‘product’ which usually takes the form of a 5,000 word essay, but it can also be an event which the pupil has managed, or an artefact they have created. Finally, and importantly, pupils are required to make a ten minute presentation on their work to a live audience and questions will be asked. Sixth Formers begin work on their EPQs in June of Year 12 and aim to finish them by March of Year 13.
