The Year 12 EPQ students enjoyed immersing themselves in the world of academic research during their study day at the University of Southampton.
The day included a visit to the university library and provided students with the opportunity to access hundreds of journal articles relating to their projects.
The EPQ is an A-Level standard qualification which allows students to research and write a 5,000-word essay on a topic of their choice.
This year’s students are focusing on topics as diverse as the role of leptin in the onset of scoliosis to the use of social media in haute couture marketing.
I am sure you will join us in wishing them every success in the realisation of their projects over the coming months.
