Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Extended Project
What is the Course About?
The Edexcel Level 3 Extended Project is a stand-alone qualification equivalent to half an A level.
The EPQ is an extended exercise using in-depth research and analysis, based around a topic of your choosing with a large focus on independent learning.
The Level 3 Extended Project has been designed so that you can choose an area that either extends or expands on your previous studies, or a topic that you have a personal interest in or passion for.
