What is the Extended Project Qualification? How can students build their self-directed study skills, explore their passions and get credit for it?

Jennifer Obaditch, AQA’s Head of Curriculum Projects, enlightens Craig Barton about how the EPQ can help students with their A-levels and university studies, as well as telling him about some of the most impressive projects she’s come across. Craig also meets Julie Greenhough, who coordinates the EPQ at St Benedict’s, to find out how they implement it.
