Studying an EPQ
An Extended Project Qualification is begun in Year 12 and completed during Year 13 with the awarding of a half A Level grade (up to A*). An EPQ provides an opportunity for students to extend their abilities beyond their sixth form course of study, stand out and prepare for university or their future career. The research skills you will develop will equip you extremely well for university study, and naturally there is the opportunity to research something within any field of interest to you which could of course be related to an area of medicine.
