The EPQ allows students to embark on a largely self-directed and self-motivated project, and develops skills which will assist students to achieve places at the top universities in the country. Students must choose a topic, plan, research and develop their idea and decide on their finished product.
The programme encourages creativity and curiosity. A project topic may be directly related to a student's main study programme, but should look beyond the specification. A finished product may take the form of a:
·research based written report
·production* (eg charity event, fashion show or sports event etc)
·an artefact* (eg piece of art, a computer game or realised design).
*A written report must accompany these options.
Students must also record their project process in their Production Log. The process of recording and completing a project is as important as the finished product. Both the Production Log and Product will be assessed.
