This is a great time to undertake a multi-disciplinary area, across two different sections of academic study. This blog starts to explore some possible titles for the EPQ and suggests some ways to successfully structure your essay or project. By [Holly](https://owltutors.co.uk/tutor/4070/) · 15 February 2025 · 3 min read ## How to Choose an EPQ Title in English English topics can include both language and literature. They can also cross over with other subjects such as History or Politics. You could choose to examine a particular aspect of the life of an author, or look in detail at one of their works. The important thing with English is to choose something or someone you are passionate about, and avoid reproducing information available elsewhere. If you have a specific interest in a genre of literature or film, this might also create a good multi-disciplinary project or essay. ## Mathematics: EPQ Title Suggestions Mathematics are a great area for an EPQ, and offer an exciting opportunity to deal with two aspects of maths: real-life maths and abstract maths. It's possible to combine these as well and look at how maths works in real life from the angle of seemingly abstract patterns or sequences. Maths can be a challenging topic for audiences, so being able to communicate complex ideas is key. Make sure you provide handouts or guides to help your assessor and your audience understand what you're trying to say. It's usually possible to expand on a GCSE topic and develop it so most people will have some grasp of your subject area. ## Examples of EPQ Titles It is fairly straightforward to generate EPQ subject titles using AI: "The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Modern Business Practices", "The Effect of Climate Change on Marine Biodiversity", "A Comparative Analysis of Traditional vs Digital Marketing Strategies", and "The Role of Music Therapy in Mental Health Treatment". You can also generate them yourself with the help of your teacher, or use AI as a starting point and then change the wording to suit your particular interests. ## Understanding the EPQ Specification The EPQ specification details both the success criteria and formal guidelines which students must follow to pass their EPQ and achieve those all-important UCAS points. Students must check the exam board and talk to their teachers about exactly what is required. The specification is particularly important if a student is aiming for a particular grade or needs a specific number of UCAS points. Things to consider are the length of your essay or project, the standards required of academic referencing, and the level of research to be demonstrated. ## Structuring Your EPQ The EPQ needs to be structured carefully, with a clear introduction which sets out your thesis and methodology concisely and coherently for your reader. Any presentation or project should be structured along similar lines. Topic sentences are invaluable in terms of making the particular focus clear at that point, and should lead on well from each other, avoiding huge jumps or uncertain links. Your teacher will be able to advise on style and referencing but you should know that they are fairly limited in the help and support they can give with your actual essay or project. This is an independent piece of work and should be seen as such from the very beginning. Good luck with your EPQ! ## About the author - **[Holly](https://owltutors.co.uk/tutor/4070/)**: From £110.00 per hour. 11 Plus, 13 Plus, English. PhD, Masters, Examiner, Russell Group.
