Study Skills

Course summary

All students will be taught the critical research skills required to be successful in the EPQ. Throughout the course, students will develop skills of independent study and research, as well as hone their presentation and time-management skills. When conducting their independent research, a student may focus on any topic they wish as long as it does not fall within the content of any of their A-level courses. This makes it very much a student-driven course, and students can choose an area of personal interest, often which is linked to their Higher Education plans. Students can choose between writing a 5000-word essay or creating an ‘artefact’ for their final piece.
