What is it? The EPQ is an exciting qualification which is growing in school each year. Students can choose to do the EPQ alongside subject courses (A Level/BTEC) or as an Enrichment option. It is a research based single piece of work of their choosing that requires evidence of planning, preparation, research, analysis, decision making and autonomous working. The Project can be an extension of an existing programme of study or arise from an area of interest, possibly connected to a future career or university course. The Project can take several forms. It can be a 5,000 word written report (dissertation style) or it can be an artefact (eg a piece of art), an event (eg a fashion show) or an electronic product (eg a computer game) with a shorter report. This is a great opportunity to do something truly individual and exciting. Whatever form the outcome will take, it must be based on research which leads the student to make decisions about how you create the product or reach the written conclusion.
