The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is your chance to really dive deep into a topic that fascinates you, beyond the confines of the A-Level syllabus. Think of it as a bridge between A-Levels and university-style independent research. It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore something you're passionate about, develop crucial academic skills, and boost your UCAS application. This guide is especially aimed at those of you considering a scientific EPQ - perhaps something like I did, focusing on genetic engineering.
