Alongside our dedicated team of EPQ moderators and examiners, each programme is taught by a subject-specific Oxbridge Advisors (supervisors) with unrivalled research expertise and subject knowledge.
What is an EPQ?
The Extended Project Qualification, or EPQ, is an independent research project that allows students to delve deeper into a subject that interests them. It is a qualification that is highly regarded by leading UK universities and is often seen as a way for students to stand out in their university applications.
EPQs are typically completed by students in their final year of secondary school and are worth up to 28 UCAS points, but many students also undertake the EPQ with us early, to free up time in their final year to focus on their examinations. This means that the EPQ can be used to meet UCAS Tariff requirements for entry into top universities - and is highly recommended by institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial. These universities all describe the EPQ as ‘of immense value’, and it can be a great way to show your passion and dedication to a specific subject.
