Study Skills

Course summary

We believe in fostering students’ interests and passions. Our aim is to encourage their creativity by offering them a qualification that goes far beyond the constraints of a curriculum and allows them to complete an independent research project. We recognise that for many of our students there is a disconnect between what is expected from academics at University and what they have learnt from their sixth form courses. Therefore, we offer the Extended Project Qualification to bridge this gap. Our aim is get students started on their academic career. We understand that we must model how to carry out an independent research project. Therefore, we prioritise the teaching of time management, the acquisition of research, referencing and critical thinking. Skills we know that our students find a challenge at the start of Year 12. In essence, we believe in allowing students to reflect on skills needed in academia to best prepare them for University.
