Projects (EPQ, HPQ)

What is an EPQ?

The EPQ is a project taken alongside your A Levels where you will research your chosen subject which is then developed into a written report or artefact (e.g. a musical composition, artwork or dramatic project backed up with a written report). Depending on your final grade, you can gain between 8 and 28 additional UCAS points. You will be supported by your tutor in a weekly lesson.
