The project is designed as an opportunity to
work in depth on something that you have a
passion for – you choose the topic and then
work with an individual teacher supervisor
who has expertise in your field.
It can be related to one of your subjects
(but doesn’t have to be) but must not be
something that you are submitting as a part
of your course. Universities are generally
very enthusiastic about the project so it
should give a big boost to your UCAS
application.
You don’t have to be A* student but do have
to have a passion for your topic and be
ready to work hard to see it through in
addition to your studies. The project can
take a variety of forms but has to include
an element of research. It can be an essay,
presentation, performance, film, artefact,
piece of music etc.
If it is a piece of written work it should
be about 5000 words. If it is not a piece of
written work it needs to be accompanied by a
1000 word report.
The project counts as an AS level but goes
to A* level. It is worth 20 to 70 UCAS
points. |
