The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is the ideal way to explore your creative thinking, academic passion and independent research abilities – in a topic of your own choosing!
This popular qualificaiton is an opportunity to gain valuable UCAS points, in addition to your A Level courses – plus a range of wider skills which are highly valued by employers and universities.
What is an EPQ?
An EPQ is an opportunity to research a topic of your choice, to produce one of the following:
- Research-based written report
- Production (e.g. dance, charity event, sports event, fashion show)

Choosing to study an EPQ allows you to work with great freedom and to take the initiative. It’s a great balance to the structured A Level qualifications.
