The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is the equivalent of an AS qualification. Students choose an area that they would like to research and they work alongside a supervisor to develop a plan for their research, write up their project and present their findings in order for a final grade to be achieved. A wide range of high-ranking universities fully accept the EPQ as part of their entry requirements. This qualification allows students to study a discipline that they are passionate about, or an associated topic linked to the subject they wish to read at University.
