Study Skills

Course summary

The EPQ is a process-based qualification. It has been designed to encourage and develop skills including independent research, analysis, communication and how to plan and deliver a presentation to a small audience. This qualification is of particular interest to Higher Education institutions as it has been designed to prepare students for the rigorous demands and expectations within their chosen degree course. Much of the work is carried out independently with the taught element of the course delivered by the EPQ mentors. Students are allocated a supervisor to support them during their project. Students may choose to take the Extended Project Qualification as an extension of an existing area of study or explore an area of personal interest.
