Extended Project Qualification

Course summary

This is an additional course that you can take. On top of your 3 A levels. Run in a university style through 1:1 tutorials and some taught lessons, this is a qualification that prepares you well for higher education and for employment. Just as importantly, it allows you to carve out entirely your own pathway and really follow your own interests. Best of all, the Extended Project Qualification is equivalent to half an A level and is highly regarded by universities as evidence that the transition from college to university will be a smooth one for students who have successfully demonstrated their aptitude for independent learning. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) course at St Peter’s begins in January of Year 12. Students taking EPQ are taught for one or two lessons a week and study independently for other lessons.
