Many students who dream of becoming a lawyer are finding that the traditional three A-levels may no longer be enough when it comes to applying to university to read law. A number of universities, faced with the International Baccalaureate, AQA Baccalaureate and Advanced Diploma, are changing their entrance requirements. More universities are turning to the ‘extended project qualification’ (EPQ) as a means of topping up the standard A-level qualifications. Indeed, more and more schools and colleges are offering the EPQ to students, which can be completed as part of the AQA Baccalaureate or as a stand-alone project worth up to 70 UCAS points.
The beauty of the EPQ is that it gives you freedom to choose a topic that interests you, and enables you to extend and challenge yourself through independent learning. It is this stretch and challenge that has resulted in Brunel University writing: ‘The skills acquired by the EPQ are welcomed by universities.’
