Yes, I would recommend it too as long as it is used as a source. A wider variety of sources *appropriately used* show a higher level of skill, this can only can help your overall grade.

Could you write a musical? As in, script and score? And maybe performance? (with an accompanying report)

On it's own, although impressive, wouldn't gain you the highest marks possible. If you were to do that it is best to look at a particular playwright or writer and try and show influence of their style in your own script. EPQ is a skills orientated task, meaning you have to show in depth research and evaluative skills.

I am doing an EPQ on space-time (maths/physics related). I want to study a course at university related to maths or physics (or both). What subjects do the majority of the universities require for this course? I do maths, f.maths and physics. Is that enough or do I need more subjects? Please help thanks!

It will depend on each different university, so maybe check the requirements for the universities your are interested in applying to. In my mind maths, fm and physics ticks all the boxes for studying maths/physics at uni; but you never know so definitely check all the prospectuses.

Okay, thank you. How do I do that? Will it be on their website/UCAS ? Thanks

Is this a good idea?

I have been trying to come up with an idea of what to do for the extended project for ages now. However today I finally have come up with an idea which I think could work but I would like other opinions. I am currently studding maths, physics, economics and spanish.

My idea is to do something about robots, how integrated will they be in our lives in 10 years time, the development of robots (who, how, when) and finally I thought that I could attempt to make a simple robot and explain the process and skills used etc.

To all Year 13 EPQers - have you entered in under Education on UCAS?

I entered is as 'Extended Project Level 3', however UCAS asked me to enter the 'subject'. I'm not sure whether I should enter the title of my report or not. Currently I have just entered 'Extended Project Qualification' as the subject.

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance :smile:

I just put in Extended Project Qualification for my title too but as another user has said, it's fine to list the actual title of your EPQ instead
