Academic skills and EPQ conferences
Virtual Teachers & Advisers EPQ Conference, supported by AQA
Taking place online on Wednesday 1 July, 1pm to 3.30 pm
Join the University of York and AQA for a virtual EPQ conference for teachers and advisers. Explore the benefits of the EPQ and the transition to higher education. Hear from experienced teachers and advisers about their experiences with the EPQ and explore the advances of AI and how this can be used with the EPQ.
This conference is aimed at staff working in schools and colleges who currently provide the EPQ or those who wish to set up EPQ provision.
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) conferences
An Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) fosters independent learning and helps prepare you for higher education.
Come join us for our next online EPQ conference on;
- Wednesday 9 December 2026
- 10am to 12 noon, then a short break until 1pm to 2.30pm
We offer EPQ conferences to help support you in working towards this qualification. Our conferences will help to develop your skills with sessions on researching, academic integrity, referencing and presentation skills.
Bookings can be made by individual students or by school groups.
Although this conference focuses on students undertaking the EPQ, we understand that not all students have this as an option. So we welcome all students to take part in the conference and develop their academic skills that can help with the transition into university.
