Extended Project Qualification

Students are free to choose their own project s focus and outcome. They will receive 1:1 input from an expert member of staff throughout the project. The outcome can be a design, performance, report, dissertation or artefact.

The Extended Project Qualification provides students with the opportunity to: develop and improve their own learning and performance as critical, reflective and independent students; develop and apply decision-making and, where appropriate, problem-solving skills; extend their planning, research, critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and presentation skills; develop as e-confident students and apply new technologies in their studies, where appropriate; develop and apply skills creatively, demonstrating initiative and enterprise; use their learning experiences to support their personal aspirations for further study and career development.

Universities across the UK and further afield really value the EPQ. It demonstrates skills directly relevant to university study, and completion of your project shows a strong work ethic and commitment to independent study. The beauty of the EPQ is its ability to enhance your study in a way that you choose.
