Study Skills

Assessment

The topics candidates select may be drawn from purely personal interest; an existing area of study; a leisure interest; voluntary/community work or future career aspirations. Candidates can choose the outcome of their project which might be: - a dissertation presenting an argument, typically around 5,000 words - an artefact, for example a work of art or 3D design model, with written explanation of around 1,500 words - a project including a short film use of internet based media, a piece of music, dance or theatre with a written explanation of around 1,500 words. Part of the final assessment asks the students to reflect on their experience and to evaluate objectively their own performance. The EPQ is assessed internally and moderated externally.
