Course summary

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) gives 6bs the chance to research something beyond the confines of the syllabus and of genuine interest to them. Independent learning is at the heart of the qualification: pupils must design, research and implement their chosen title themselves. The EPQ can provide an excellent addition to A levels. Done well, the project helps to develop core academic and ‘life’ skills; as such, it is seen as a valuable qualification by both universities and future employers.
