EPQ(Extended Project Qualification)
![Page 39: Welcome to Wilson’s School Sixth Form Mr A Doyle Director of Sixth Form Mr T Coop](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681593b550346895dc67725/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What is the EPQ?
• A free-standing post-16 qualification for which students complete a research project on a topic of their choice.
• Introduced in 2007 to help students to develop research skills for university and project management skills for the workplace.
• Very popular with schools and students around the country.
• Very popular with universities too.
![Page 40: Welcome to Wilson’s School Sixth Form Mr A Doyle Director of Sixth Form Mr T Coop](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681593b550346895dc67725/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Benefits of the EPQ“The potential benefits are enormous. Opportunities to get deeply involved in a subject that interests you, to develop research skills, to pull together different areas of the other subjects you are studying and to develop extended writing skills will all be enormously valuable preparation for going to university. I would strongly encourage students to do an extended project whichever university they want to go to.”
Geoff Parks, Director of Admissions, University of Cambridge
![Page 41: Welcome to Wilson’s School Sixth Form Mr A Doyle Director of Sixth Form Mr T Coop](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681593b550346895dc67725/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Details of the EPQ• Students are required to design, plan and
complete an individual project on a topic of their choice. They must also give a formal presentation on the results.
• All students must complete a Production Log, recording their key decisions at each stage of the project and the advice that they get from their supervisor. This log is worth 60% of the overall award.
• The most traditional product is a 5000 word essay/ report, but it is also possible to submit an artefact with an accompanying write-up. The product is worth 40% of the overall award.
• It is marked at A2 standard, so it is graded A* to U and worth up to 70 UCAS points.
