Ultimate EPQ thread

I'm really struggling with the EPQ at the moment. My first idea clashed with my syllabus and my second I had to give up on because it got really overcomplicated and difficult and I didn't have enough resources on it. I'm finding it really hard to talk about something I'm interested in that doesn't clash with my subject syllabus'.
I'm taking english literature/language, philosophy and psychology. Any ideas?

Are you not allowed to cover topics which are on your subject syllabus?

I want to do medicine (surprise surprise) but was wondering how detailed to make my title?

I did some really interesting work experience in a cardiology department and want to write my EPQ along the lines of 'have new developments in cardiology been worthwhile or have they raised new ethical dilemmas that would otherwise have ceased to exist'
I would write about the use of animal tissues in heart valve replacements and the idea of how pacemakers can be hacked into

I could even go into how there is a global imbalance of these types of treatment and how do we fix it? Is it our job to develop the health care in developing countries to a decent standard or just worry about our latest pioneering surgeries?

Do you think this title would be accepted?

I'm doing AQA btw

Some people say, that much broader title is better, as you will have lots to write about, and give persuasive arguments on both sides, but I much prefer titles that are quite specific as they give you a clear focus and help you not to drift off too much, therefore I really like your title, and especially that you had some related work experience will make it more interesting

Aha thank you! I really want to write this essay so I hope my title gets accepted, the only reason I think it wouldn't be accepted is because it's too complex? As in I'd need to research and get good of articles that I might not be able to get easily??

As long as you don't find it too complex and understand the main concepts, then I think you should be fine. Looking for good resources is always hard, you will just have to make the best use possible of what you will find.

I'm studying Art, History, French and English Language at AS level, and i was also going to take German as a fifth option but my English teacher told me that i should consider taking EPQ instead of German.
I'm worried that EPQ will take up too much time, although i know that it's great for university applications....and I speak quite good German already, so maybe doing the AS level would be a bit pointless?
What should I do?????

I am currently completing a EPQ exploring the public perceptions of critical care in England and would be grateful is you could give just a minute to complete this survey, thanks

Sure thing, just did it for ya. Well done on making a questionnaire that is the right length and the questions are totally answerable. Not a lot of people (even at A-Level) can make decent questionnaires.

I was thinking maybe, I want to a maths epq sorta related, could I do a tutorial of how to solve a Rubik's cube with like I don't know some maths about the Rubik's cube and all the combinations and gods number or should I just do something like why was solving fermats last theorm so significant in mathematics? Or why did it take over 350 years? Thanks for any help

Hi, I'm doing research on prostate cancer treatments and I wanna do a qquestionnaire to find out what people think about radiotherapy and the surgery option..
