Enrichment - Extended Project Qualification
Course summary
EPQ is a challenging Level 3 qualification that enables students to manage, develop and realise an in-depth research project into a chosen area of study. Throughout the year, students are supported to complete a 5000-word essay in response to a chosen line of enquiry and to complete a project log that evidences a critical evaluation of the EPQ process. The course will provide support in the following areas, so that students can effectively plan and complete this project. However, the project itself assesses students’ ability to work independently, managing and planning the project, using resources effectively, using a range of skills to develop and realise planned outcomes, and evaluating both the outcomes and the learning process. You will need to possess exceptionally strong independent study skills, to enable you to research and evaluate a wide variety of sources. You will need passion for one chosen area of study that will form the basis of your project and will support your applications to higher education. You will also need to be highly organised and committed in order to identify, design, plan and complete this demanding project by March of Year 12.
