The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) provides an opportunity for you to pursue your own academic interests in a chosen topic. You will undertake independent research, gaining additional UCAS points for your university application and developing a range of independent research skills. The project can be either a specific essay-based study or the production of an ?artefact? (play, video, book, sculpture, photographic journal). Although this is an independent study project, you will receive support through access to a supervisor and weekly taught sessions which cover a range of study skills such as referencing, research methods and writing techniques. The taught element is supplemented with support from the University of Leeds to provide a real experience of university style learning. The EPQ is offered as a stand-alone qualification at AS, although, unlike standard AS Levels, the EPQ attracts a potential A* grade. This valuable qualification allows you to develop a wide range of useful skills for either employment or higher level study.
