Extended Project Qualification

The EPQ allows students to explore their academic interest further, whilst at the same time developing character traits and transferable skills that are useful in every aspect of future life.  It is a core part of our Sixth Form experience and one that all students complete.

• It allows you to explore a topic you are genuinely interested in - either beyond the scope of your A-Levels, or something else entirely.
• It can demonstrate to Universities that you’re enthusiastic about the subject you’re applying to study especially Medicine, Engineering.
• Universities value the EPQ, and many make lower offers based upon completion of it.
• The EPQ is worth half an A-Level in terms of UCAS points - more than an AS qualification.
