The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is an independent project which enables you to research an area of interest in depth, under the guidance of a supervisor. It offers an excellent opportunity to prepare yourself to study at university level. The EPQ enables you to develop independent project management and research-based skills, including time-planning, decision-making, problem-solving, source evaluation, reading and noting, critical thinking, analytical, synthesis, evaluation, academic writing and presentation skills. The exploration of this topic allows you to gain a detailed knowledge of your chosen academic area and related practical skills (if appropriate).
All offers require at least five 9-7 grades at (I)GCSE and a 9-7 in irrelevant subjects you plan to study at A-Level.
You will produce a portfolio that contains supporting evidence of your project management, research and development of the project, and its on-going evaluation. All portfolios include an extended piece of writing, in the form of a dissertation (5000 words) or research-based report (1000 words) for practical projects. You are required to produce a short evaluative presentation. As part of your independent learning, you must record evidence of your progress in a log or diary. Portfolios are marked and moderated internally, before being externally moderated by the exam board. An EPQ is equivalent to half an A level, with an A* earning 28 UCAS points; an A is equal to 24 UCAS points; and a B earning 20 UCAS points.
