Extended Project Qualification

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a qualification that allows you to develop and enhance your abilities beyond the A level specification.

The EPQ is worth half an A level (up to 28 UCAS points) and is recognised by universities and employers, with many universities making lower offers to students undertaking an EPQ. This is an excellent qualification for you to show prospective universities that you have the autonomy to pursue interests through academic research and reporting of topics that are not covered in your A level subject lessons. If you are applying for competitive courses after RSFC, then the EPQ will help you stand out, giving you the chance to explore a topic area you have a passion for, and providing an excellent addition to personal statements and university interviews.
