The Extended Project Qualification will provide you with an opportunity to extend your abilities beyond the A Level syllabus, stand out and prepare for university or your future career. Many leading universities, for example Southampton University, make reduced offers if you achieve a high grade in your EPQ. Another benefit is that you do not have to prepare for an examination but it can be used to earn you extra UCAS points. The EPQ is a qualification designed to develop your skills in independent research and project management. It will give you the freedom to be intellectually curious and complete a piece of work on a subject of your choice. If you enjoy working independently, are self-driven, can manage your time well and have a genuine interest in your topic then the EPQ is right for you.
