There are three required elements;
Project product
(the report/artefact/performance
)

)
Presentation

a small audience)Slide4
The Research Report
It is up to the student to choose whether to make a research report the sole product of the Project or to create a product in another format, such as a production or artefact.
If it is the sole product, the research report could take the form of an academic essay, research report of an investigation, exploration of a hypothesis, or academic report.
If the product takes another format, the student will still need to supply a shorter supplementary research report.
At Level 3 EPQ, the approximate length of these must be:
Research report – 5000 words
or
Supplementary research report – 1000 words (min).Slide5

Applicants
presenting the Extended Project are encouraged to discuss their research in their personal statement and reflect on how undertaking the project will help prepare them for studying their chosen degree at Warwick.
