Pupils are encouraged to think broadly across all areas of knowledge and creativity - humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, visual arts, or performing arts - beyond the A Level subjects. They should use their project to explore these questions: • What academic subjects or creative practices interest me most? 

• How can I stretch myself academically or creatively?
• What skills do I need for advanced-level work?
• Should I aim for university, art school, conservatoire, apprenticeship, or employment after school?
• What else can I do to appeal to universities or employers?

A motivated pupil can produce a project that enhances a university interview, UCAS reference, or personal statement.
