BEDE’S DIPLOMA – Extended Project Qualification Information
The EPQ will be taken by the vast majority of sixth formers at Bede’s within the ‘Extend’
section of the Diploma. It is designed to sit alongside and complement the A-level and
BTEC programme and is considered equally as important, earning valuable UCAS points
and in some cases, a reduced grade offer to university. It allows you to develop
independent learning, planning and research skills by exploring an area of specific
interest.
