What does EPQ involve? You will have the opportunity to choose an area of research you want to study. You complete a logbook to document the process and the decisions you have made along the way. You plan, research and carry out your project and then prepare a presentation to share the outcomes. Along the way you will be taught how to develop your research skills and you will be supported by your supervisor who will advise you and act as a sounding board but you make the decisions, justify them and then evaluate the whole learning experience at the end. You will become a more critical, reflective and independent learner. The finished product can take a variety of forms such as a traditional dissertation but really it is only limited by your imagination. Universities look very favourably on EPQ as they know it develops the higher level skills they are looking for. Carmel students have had offers for medicine, veterinary science and from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, for example, and feel that the EPQ really gave them a distinct advantage in their personal statements and at interview. The EPQ also attracts UCAS points. EPQ is also an excellent option for you if you simply have a passion for a certain field and would relish the opportunity of spending time indulging in researching a topic of your choice.
