The project is started at the end of Year 12, but the majority of the work is done in Year 13 as this enables students to develop the maturity needed to gain the best possible results. You will develop an initial idea for your research question and complete a Project Proposal Form, stating clear aims and objectives for your Project. Your co-ordinator will decide whether your research question meets the aims of the Extended Project and you will be able to continue with your research, or you will have to amend the question. You will carry out wide-ranging independent research to answer your question in the form of either a 6000 word written report or by producing an artefact alongside a 1000 word report, under guidance from your supervisor. The academy will deliver 30 hours of study skills teaching and you will undertake 90 hours of independent study to deadlines. At the end of the project, you will give a presentation to a non-specialist audience and take part in a live question and answer session.
