Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a qualification taken by some students in England and Wales, which is equivalent to 50% of an A-Level. Graded A*–E and worth up to 28 UCAS tariff points,[1] it is part of level three of the national qualifications framework.[2]
The extended project was devised by Sir Mike Tomlinson in 2006, during his review of 16 to 19-year-olds' education,[3] and entered a pilot phase during the academic year 2007–8.[4] It was a compulsory part of the 14–19 Diploma taken by students in England and Wales between 2008 and 2013.[5]
