Study Skills

Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) offers Sixth Form students the opportunity to study and research a topic in depth, of their own choosing, and to produce a final project. It is a free-standing Level 3 qualification and its purpose is to add a further dimension to Sixth Form study. Students attend an introductory set of lessons that prepare them to choose a topic and to carry out research. For much of the course they will work independently, although their progress will be monitored by a supervisor who will offer guidance and support, and with whom they will also keep a log of their plans and activities. During the course, there will be further lessons to develop the analytical skills of the students and to prepare them for the production and presentation of their final project.
