The Extended Project is a one year course which carries equivalent points for university entry as an AS level and is awarded Grades A*-E. Some universities will accept it as part of an offer,and a large number of the top universities will make a lower offer for students who opt to complete this project, e.g. Bristol. 

How this course is assessed? 

Students record what they do in a production log.

They produce an extended piece of work and make a presentation about it. 

They are assessed on the log, the project and the presentation. 

Students can choose to look at an area which is an extension to their current area of study or alternatively they can explore an area of personal interest or an activity outside the main programme of study. 

Students have taken the opportunity to examine a wide variety of subjects from Radiography, cubist artwork to devising a training plan for a hockey team.
