Here are five good reasons to do a project:

1. It gives you freedom to do a piece of research on a subject – or a combination of subjects – you are really interested in.
2. It can help you decide whether you want to continue to work or study in your project area.
3. It’s a good example of independent working, which you can mention in interviews – for jobs, apprenticeships or university.
4. If you are thinking of going to university, an EPQ gives you UCAS points and helps you to stand out from the crowd in university applications.
5. It helps you develop the independent research and critical thinking skills that you will need at university.

 

Lessons 7 & 8 can be adapted into an EPQ project and help you get equipped with the skills!
