Here are five good reasons to do a project:
- It gives you freedom to do a piece of research on a subject – or a combination of subjects – you are really interested in.
- It can help you decide whether you want to continue to work or study in your project area.
- It’s a good example of independent working, which you can mention in interviews – for jobs, apprenticeships or university.
- 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.
- It helps you develop the independent research and critical thinking skills that you will need at university.
