Welcome to
the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
The Extended Project Qualification is an independent project completed under the guidance of a supervisor. Students can complete a dissertation, report, artefact or performance/event. It is excellent preparation for university level study, teaching project management and research skills in the context of the chosen topic. The projects are diverse, and students enjoy extending their academic interests beyond their A-levels.
