The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) allows students to study a topic area which extends their learning in their area of study. Students select one of the four units, which may be completed over one year. They should select a project topic which expands their learning in their field of study, in a related area, or that is relevant to their own personal interests.

The four units offered are:

• Dissertation
• Investigation/field study
• Performance
• Artefact

Each of the four units offers a different type of project: Students will be assessed on their ability to plan, manage, complete and review their project.
