Enrichment Extended Project Qualification

Course summary

The EPQ is a piece of independent work of a student’s choice, which can either be an artefact or an extended piece of academic writing. The focus is on research and planning skills leading to a final piece. There are a number of specialist routes available including through one of the subject academies. Students are encouraged to be creative and innovative. The work completed cannot duplicate any work completed for another subject but it can be related to it. The EPQ is assessed at A level standard and as such an A* is achievable. Examples of recent projects include making a music video, writing a short story, creating a dance performance, producing an animation, creating a webpage, designing a business. The possibilities are endless!
