Ultimate EPQ thread

I was just thinking guys, does our EPQ topic have to be based on what we plan on doing at UNI, or can it be in the topic area of any one of our current A Levels?

Cheers for any answers :-)

Can be anything
Personally, I did it based on what I hope to study at uni - but that's only because I found it very interesting! I suggest doing it on whatever interests you most.

I spent around 5-10 hours a week on mine but it was based on a hobby of mine so whenever i was at a rehearsal I was doing the primary research needed (which was 4-5 hours a week). It doesnt really affect your A levels as long as you plan your time effectively

I'm thinking of doing mine on "How effective is microfinance?". I want do an Econ degree - do you think the title is too vague, and if so, how can I improve it?

Hi guys if anyones on here? I need your help please haha.

For my epq I genuinely cant pick what question to do??? My options are
1) To what extent is the media both a cause and a solution of eating disorders (find it interesting having one myself)
2) Are islamic women opressed?
3) something to do with what i want to do at uni (economics)?

Whilst an EPQ can be on anything you want, it's generally best to focus on the subject you want to study at university. Do you have any specific Economics-related question ideas?

I've done an activity log, critical evaluation of sources, liaison with expert and obv log book!
Anything else needed for a high marking EPQ?

no, i have no idea ahahaha i can't make decisions!

If you want your EPQ to be as useful as possible for University applications, I would advise speaking to your Economics teacher for their advice regarding an Economics-based EPQ. However, if you want to do it to broaden your knowledge and/or for fun, just pick something you're interested in! Both of the questions you posed before sounded good, and if you already have ideas for them your EPQ is likely to be stronger.

do you think i could merge them? like should funding for mental health services be increased or is the first option best

Evidence of planning/reviewing your plan (e.g. Gantt/Cascade diagrams, showing that you've narrowed your question down) and reflection (basically your log book).

Thanks do we need an activity log as well as a Gantt chart

Yup. I handed in my production log and a Gantt chart.

So the. I did this on this day thing?

Yes. The 'I did this on this day thing' is the Gantt chart.
I handed mine in last Wednesday. I literally did my EPQ in two days

I've done one that says this alongside the GANTR chart but they don't coincide! What do you mean by production log?
The log book?
