Course summary

What is EPQ? The extended Project is an additional enrichment opportunity designed to allow students to take on an extra project outside of their 3 subject choices. It allows student to carry out a project of their own choosing on a subject that may be but does have to be related to their studies. It is designed to provide an opportunity for independent study and a chance to develop skills that will aid them when completing projects at university and in future careers. What skills does EPQ develop? Because every EPQ is unique students will decide exactly which skills they want to develop through the project. However every EPQ teaches students how to research effectively. The project also teaches the importance of time management, independent learning and taking a pro-active approach to their work. Students will also be asked to self evaluate their project by developing the ability to self-reflect. Lastly students will need to present their project, developing the ability to speak confidently about their work and many their other important life skills.
