Course summary

The EPQ is a process-driven qualification with approximately two-thirds of the marks awarded for planning, use of resources, time management and self-evaluation. Delivery of the EPQ will involve 30 hours of taught skills sessions, as well as supervision and assessment of the student’s progress. It will involve extended autonomous work by the student of approximately 90 hours. The Extended Project Qualification offers opportunities for students to: - Develop and extend from an area of personal interest or activity outside the main programme of study. - Improve their learning and performance as critical, reflective and independent learners. - Apply decision-making and problem-solving skills. - Extend their planning, research, critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills.
