Extended Project Qualification (Additional Studies)

While we have passed our January application deadline, we do invite late/further applications or expressions of interest (contact us using - sixthform@samuelward.co.uk).

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) offers Sixth Form students the opportunity to study a topic of their choice in depth. It is a free-standing qualification and its purpose is to add a further dimension to Sixth Form studies and to stretch and challenge. It is widely welcomed by universities, with some altering entry requirements for those with a high grade in this qualification. You can choose to study an EPQ alongside three other subjects.
