The Extended Project Qualification allows students to pursue a genuine enthusiasm and to develop key academic skills to enhance suitability for university study. It should be a hugely enjoyable undertaking for anyone because the possibilities for projects are limitless. The qualification is an ideal way of enhancing a UCAS application and is increasingly “rewarded” by universities in a number of ways by being used as part of the admissions process.

AQA: Extended Project Qualification (7993)

This is a research-based qualification, through which students will develop some important academic skills relevant for higher education.

The project is internally assessed and externally moderated. Candidates must submit a production log, evidence of a presentation and a product. The product may be a written report of approximately 5,000 words or an artefact and a 2,000 essay. In all cases, there is an emphasis on the research process.
