EPQ

We offer the E P Q (Extended Project Qualification) for students in Year 13 which is an optional Level 3 qualification taken by some students and is the equivalent of half an A level in terms of UCAS points. The students’ choice of topic is free, although they must show that it is academically useful, either related to their current course of study, or their future career It takes the form of either a dissertation (5,000 words being a common guideline or a number of other forms: a musical or dramatic composition, report or artefact, backed up with paperwork and can help students to develop and demonstrate a range of valuable skills through pursuing their interests and investigating topics in more depth It is favoured by universities for guiding students into higher education and is worth extra UCAS points.
