The Level 3 Award qualification in Project Management is ideally suited for new project managers, or managers wanting to develop their project management skills. The course covers the nature and context of projects, individual roles and responsibilities within projects, and the project management process.

Equivalent to half an A-Level, the Extended Project Qualification is an opportunity for second-year students to develop independent research, presentation and essay writing skills. You will undertake a project on a topic of your choosing and you can approach this in a number of different ways; you could produce a research-based report, or make something more creative.

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is valued by many Russell Group universities. Universities differ in whether or not they will include the EPQ as part of any offer they make to a student, but students can draw upon their EPQ in their personal statement and at interview to provide evidence of enthusiasm for their chosen subject. Students are recommended to check university guidance for more information.
