Hi, I've enrolled for the EPQ programme and I have no idea what to base it on. I had an idea before of what I wanted to do, like something based on law but I'm not doing an A-Level in law so I don't know what exactly to do it about. Any suggestions? I'm currently studying Biology, Psychology and English (:

Anyway - if you are set on it - and like family/criminal law, I suggest searching for some more controversial cases that you can form your own opinion on, then base the question around the controversy - argue it bilaterally but definitely come up with a conclusion. Use specific (real) cases. Or perhaps you disagree with a certain law? Or perhaps there are some laws relating to family that are not moral or even ethical and base your question on whether law is there to be moral or practical or what?
Lol that paragraph probably doesn't make sense I actually just went off thinking of ideas I could do.. but just bounce around ideas like that till something sparks your interest - it'll be easier if the question genuinely interests you.
Good luck

Try to do something you have a genuine interest in. I applied for maths about 5 years ago, and my EPQ didn't seem to have any bearing on whether or not I received an offer -- but pursuing a mathematical topic which I felt passionate about is something I felt very proud of, and as a result, it hardly felt like I was taking on a bigger workload than what I already had at the time because it was something I naturally enjoyed learning about (though I do remember there being a lot of tedious admin involved with keeping logs and other related things).

Definitely do something you are passionate about, you're going to be writing and researching it for hours on end so make sure it's enjoyable. When deciding a topic, the best thing to do is to find an area YOU have an opinion about. I finished my EPQ this March and my topic was rather abstract, consisting loosely of international law in relation to the Philippines drug war situation. One of the main parts of writing your EPQ is arguing your question, so make sure you can identify an argument for and against.
I joined my EPQ class really late since I was doing 4 Linear A Levels, but managed to finish before the rest of them and score myself an A*. Honestly, 1) Passion 2) Opinion and you'll survive EPQ
I would recommend looking at BBC News and just looking around for an event that you feel something towards, for example, the Charlie Gard case. What your initial reaction is towards the article, should create your question and put forward a line of argument (just an example)
Another pointer would be, I found that the people in my class that had an EPQ topic that was personal to themselves, were the most motivated to contributing work towards their EPQ (My mother basically supported the murderous President in the Philippines and that's why I got triggered and did my EPQ about the Philippines). Don't try to be influenced by other peoples questions and topics, if you do enough research you should be able to create your own
