It is a full AS Level equivalent qualification. It is worth up to 28 UCAS points. It is recognised by all universities, including Oxbridge, as a means of distinguishing between high achieving candidates who are also predicted 3 or 4 good A Level grades. The project is invaluable in preparing students for the level of independent research work they will need to complete at university. It is also an excellent means of adding to a portfolio for art and media based courses.

It is an independent research project which you undertake in a topic area of your own choice. It can take the form of:

• A Dissertation
• An investigation or Field Study
• A Performance
• An Artefact

There is no examination. The project is marked by your teacher assessor and then sent to the exam board for their verification. As part of the marks awarded are on a presentation, every student must present their project to an audience. The Assessment and Presentation will take place before the main examination period.
