Course summary

What will I study and learn? What you study is largely down to your ideas and motivation. You will learn how to plan, research, develop and produce a project, which may be in the form of an essay (5,000-word report), or an artefact (such as a dress, a play or an extract from a book). If you choose to create an artefact, you must complete a 1,000-word written report to accompany your project. Whichever route you take, you will learn the skills needed for university, such as research and independent writing skills. You will be allocated an EPQ supervisor who will support you as you create a project that you find inspiring and motivating. This project may be linked to your future career choice, hobbies, or extend your A level studies in some way.

Entry requirements

All offers made are unconditional and will be made based on a minimum entry requirement of Grade 6 GCSE.

How you'll be assessed

How will I be assessed? The assessment is different to all other A level subjects in that many of the marks go towards how you went about your research, managed your time, and responded to difficulties. Hence, the process of developing your project is just as important as the end project, and you will need to formally submit a log (how you developed your project, your thoughts on how it is going, your response to your supervisor’s advice and the decisions you are making). You will present your EPQ journey at the end of the process.
