The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

This Extended Project qualification or EPQ offers students the opportunity to take control of their own learning and time in order to study a project of their own design. Each project is individually negotiated and lets students show off their creative, analytical, evaluative, and practical skills. Class discussions and presentations develop ideas, and then each project is assessed on its individual merit. This course is 100% coursework.  

There are four possible kinds of projects: 
  • A dissertation on a research question students pose for themselves on an area of interest, which is written up in an extended piece of writing of up to 6000 words. 
  • A field study of a hypothesis or research question that requires data collection and analysis, which is written up in an extended piece of writing of up to 6000 words. 
  • A performance for which a brief is written and then responded to with a performance of some sort: a film, a play , a piece of music, a dance piece. A commentary of up to 2000 words must also be submitted.
  • An artefact for which a brief is written and then responded to with a physical object: an art work, a website, a book, an object. A commentary of around 2000 words must also be submitted.
