📚 How to Submit EPQ Grades and Predicted Grades to UCAS | EPQ成绩及预估分在UCAS系统中的提交方式
The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a valuable standalone qualification that demonstrates a student’s independent research, time management and critical thinking skills. When applying to UK universities through UCAS, it is essential to present EPQ achievements accurately — whether you are still working towards the qualification or have already received your final grade. This guide explains how to add an EPQ to your UCAS application, how predicted grades are submitted, and how confirmed results reach universities.
扩展项目资格证书（EPQ）是一项独立的学术资质，能够展示学生的独立研究能力、时间管理技巧与批判性思维。通过 UCAS 申请英国大学时，准确呈现你的 EPQ 成绩至关重要——无论你仍在学习过程中，还是已经获得最终分数。本指南将详细说明如何在 UCAS 申请中添加 EPQ，如何提交预估分，以及最终成绩如何送达大学。
1. Understanding the EPQ and Its Role in UCAS Applications | 认识 EPQ 及其在 UCAS 申请中的作用
The EPQ is a Level 3 qualification typically taken alongside A‑levels, worth up to 28 UCAS Tariff points for an A* grade. Universities often view a strong EPQ performance as evidence of a student’s readiness for undergraduate study. It can make a significant difference in offers, especially for competitive courses that value independent research.
EPQ 属于 Level 3 资质，通常与 A-level 课程同时修读，A* 等级可获得最高 28 个 UCAS Tariff 积分。大学通常将优秀的 EPQ 表现视为学生有能力应对本科学习的证明。在申请竞争激烈的专业时，一项出色的 EPQ 可能对录取结果产生重要影响。
Many universities include EPQ conditions in their offers — for example, a typical offer might ask for ‘ABB at A‑level plus an A in the EPQ’ or offer a reduced A‑level requirement for strong EPQ candidates. Therefore, reporting your EPQ correctly on UCAS is not just a formality; it can directly influence the admissions decision.
许多大学会把 EPQ 成绩写入录取条件，例如要求“A-level 达到 ABB 且 EPQ 取得 A”，或者对 EPQ 表现优异者降低 A-level 分数要求。因此，在 UCAS 申请中准确申报 EPQ 并非走过场，它可能直接影响招生决定。
2. Adding the EPQ Qualification in the ‘Education’ Section | 在“教育背景”部分添加 EPQ 资格
You must list the EPQ in the ‘Education’ section of your UCAS application. Under ‘Qualifications’, click ‘Add qualification’ and search for ‘Extended Project’. Select the appropriate awarding body — such as AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR or WJEC — from the dropdown menu. Then enter the subject or title of your project, for example ‘The ethics of artificial intelligence in healthcare’.
你需要在 UCAS 申请的“教育背景”部分填加 EPQ。在“资格”下方点击“添加资格”，搜索“Extended Project”。从下拉菜单中选择相应的考试局，例如 AQA、Pearson Edexcel、OCR 或 WJEC。接着输入项目学科或标题，例如“医疗保健中人工智能的伦理问题”。
If your EPQ is still in progress, you must also enter the expected completion date — usually June of your final school year. For completed EPQs, you will enter the actual date and your final grade. Be careful to select the correct level: most EPQs are Level 3, but double‑check with your school if needed.
如果你的 EPQ 尚未完成，还需填写预计完成日期——通常是毕业学年的六月。对于已完成的 EPQ，则输入实际日期与最终成绩。务必选择正确的级别：绝大多数 EPQ 是 Level 3，如有疑问请与学校确认。
3. The Crucial Role of Predicted Grades | 预估分的关键作用
A predicted grade is a professional estimate of the grade you are likely to achieve in the EPQ. This prediction is provided by your school or college, never by the student. On the UCAS application, the EPQ predicted grade is entered not by you but by your referee or school administrator when they review and approve your application.
预估分是对你可能在 EPQ 中取得成绩的专业评估。它完全由你的学校或学院提供，学生本人不能自行填写。在 UCAS 申请中，EPQ 的预估分并非由你输入，而是当推荐人或学校管理员审核并批准你的申请时添加。
Schools typically submit predicted grades through the UCAS Adviser Portal. Your EPQ supervisor, in consultation with the exams officer, will decide a realistic grade based on your logbook, presentation, draft report and overall progress. This prediction must be honest and reflect your current standard of work, as universities may treat a significant discrepancy between predicted and actual grades as grounds for withdrawing an offer.
学校通常通过 UCAS Adviser Portal 提交预估分。EPQ 导师会与考试办公室人员共同商定一个切合实际的分数，评估依据包括你的日志、演示、报告草稿及整体进展。预估分必须诚实并反映你当前水平，因为预估成绩与实际成绩之间如果差距过大，大学可能以此为由撤销录取通知。
4. The Referee Statement and EPQ Mention | 推荐人陈述与 EPQ 的提及
Beyond the predicted grade, your UCAS referee can strengthen your application by discussing the EPQ in their written statement. The referee might highlight your research skills, resilience when tackling complex sources, or how the project has shaped your academic interests. This narrative evidence can be especially powerful if your EPQ topic aligns with the degree you are applying for.
除了提供预估分外，UCAS 推荐人还可以在书面推荐信中论及你的 EPQ。推荐人或许会强调你的研究能力、处理复杂文献时的韧性，或者 EPQ 如何塑造了你的学术兴趣。如果 EPQ 主题与你申请的专业方向一致，这种叙述性的佐证会更具说服力。
While the predicted grade is a number, the referee’s comments can contextualise that number and give admissions tutors a fuller picture of your potential. Some courses, particularly those at Russell Group universities, explicitly state that they value the EPQ as part of the holistic assessment of a candidate.
预估分只是一个数字，而推荐人的评语可以为这个数字提供背景，让招生导师更全面地看到你的潜质。一些大学专业，特别是罗素集团成员校，明确表示会将 EPQ 作为综合评估申请者的重要依据。
5. Submitting Final EPQ Results to UCAS | 向 UCAS 提交 EPQ 最终成绩
If you have already completed the EPQ before submitting your UCAS form, you can enter the final grade in the qualifications section. Your school must verify this grade by providing evidence, usually a copy of the certificate or a statement of results from the awarding body. UCAS may request scanned proof via the adviser portal.
如果你在提交 UCAS 申请表前已经完成 EPQ，可以在资格部分直接输入最终成绩。学校必须通过提供证据来验证该成绩，通常是证书副本或考试局的成绩声明。UCAS 可能会通过顾问门户要求上传扫描证明。
For candidates who are yet to sit the qualification, final results are transmitted differently. Awarding bodies send confirmed grades to UCAS automatically after results day. Schools do not need to manually update the system, though they should monitor the transfer for any discrepancies.
对于尚未参加资格考试的考生，最终成绩的传递方式有所不同。放榜日之后，考试局会自动将确认成绩发送给 UCAS。学校无需手动更新系统，但应关注成绩传输过程以防出现差错。
6. How Awarding Bodies Transmit EPQ Results | 考试局如何传输 EPQ 成绩
All major UK awarding bodies — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and others — are linked to UCAS via the Awarding Body Linkage (ABL) system. On the designated results day, the ABL system pushes final EPQ grades directly into each applicant’s UCAS record. This process is secure and does not require any action from the student.
英国各大考试局——AQA、Edexcel、OCR、WJEC 等——均通过考试局联结系统（ABL）与 UCAS 相连。在指定的成绩公布日，ABL 系统会将 EPQ 最终成绩直接推送至每位申请者的 UCAS 记录中。这一过程安全可靠，不需要学生进行任何操作。
You should double‑check your UCAS Hub on results day to confirm that the grade has appeared correctly. If the grade is missing or incorrect, contact your school exams officer immediately so they can raise a query with the awarding body and UCAS. Prompt action can prevent delays in meeting offer conditions.
你应在放榜日当天登录 UCAS Hub 核实成绩是否已准确显示。如果成绩缺失或有误，请立即联系学校考试官，以便他们向考试局和 UCAS 提出查询。及时处理可避免因成绩问题而延误满足录取条件。
7. Understanding UCAS Tariff Points for the EPQ | 理解 EPQ 的 UCAS Tariff 积分
Although not all universities use Tariff points, many do, and the EPQ can contribute valuable points to your total. The table below shows the UCAS Tariff points for each EPQ grade. Note that the EPQ is a Level 3 qualification equivalent in size to half an A‑level, so its points are typically half those of a full A‑level at the same grade.
尽管不是所有大学都使用 Tariff 积分制，但很多大学会参考，EPQ 可以为你的总积分做出重要贡献。下表列出了各 EPQ 等级对应的 UCAS Tariff 积分。请注意，EPQ 属于 Level 3 资质，规模相当于半个 A-level，因此同等等级下的积分通常为完整 A-level 的一半。
| EPQ Grade | EPQ 等级 | UCAS Tariff Points | 积分 |
|---|---|
| A* | 28 |
| A | 24 |
| B | 20 |
| C | 16 |
| D | 12 |
| E | 8 |
You can use the UCAS Tariff calculator to see how EPQ points combine with your other qualifications. Even if a university sets its offers in terms of grades rather than points, a strong EPQ can tip the balance when admissions staff are making borderline decisions.
你可以使用 UCAS Tariff 计算器查看 EPQ 积分与你其他资质的累加情况。即使大学以等级而非积分设定录取条件，当招生官在录取边缘作抉择时，一项出色的 EPQ 仍可能成为关键砝码。
8. When EPQ Is Not Yet Completed at the Time of Application | 申请时 EPQ 尚未完成的情况
Most students apply to university while still working on their EPQ. In this scenario, you will list the EPQ as ‘pending’ in the Education section. Your school will then provide a predicted grade as described earlier. This predicted grade will be visible on the application that universities receive, alongside your other pending qualifications.
大多数学生在大学申请时仍在进行 EPQ。这种情况下，你需要在教育背景部分将 EPQ 标记为“待完成”。学校随后会按前文所述提供预估分。该预估成绩将与你的其他待完成资格一并显示在大学收到的申请资料中。
It is important to remember that a predicted grade is not a guarantee. You must continue to work diligently on your project to achieve the predicted outcome or better. University offers are often conditional on achieving specific EPQ grades, and failure to meet them can jeopardise your place.
需要注意的是，预估分并不等于最终成绩。你必须在整个过程中认真努力，才能达到或超越预估水平。大学录取通常以特定 EPQ 成绩为条件，如果未能满足条件，可能会危及你的入学资格。
9. Resitting the EPQ and Impact on UCAS | EPQ 重考及其对 UCAS 申请的影响
If you decide to resit the EPQ, perhaps to improve a grade, you must inform your school and update your UCAS application. For a new application cycle, you should list the EPQ again with the planned resit date and a new predicted grade. If the resit occurs after you have submitted UCAS but before results day, your school can send an updated predicted grade via UCAS ‘Replacement’ services if necessary.
如果你决定重考 EPQ 以提高成绩，你需要告知学校并更新 UCAS 申请信息。在新的申请周期中，应重新填写 EPQ，注明重考日期及新的预估分。如果重考在提交 UCAS 之后、成绩公布之前进行，学校在必要时可以通过 UCAS “替换”服务提交更新的预估分。
Remember that the original grade may still appear on your certificate unless you wait for the new result. Universities may ask for clarification, so ensure your referee explains the resit situation clearly in their statement. Most universities accept resit grades, but some competitive courses expect first‑attempt results, so check individual admission policies.
请记住，除非你等待新成绩，否则原成绩可能仍会显示在证书上。大学可能会要求澄清，因此请确保推荐人在陈述中清楚说明重考情况。多数大学接受重考成绩，但部分竞争激烈的专业期望首次考试成绩，务必查阅具体录取政策。
10. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误及避免方法
Several pitfalls can delay or weaken your UCAS application with respect to the EPQ. A frequent mistake is failing to include the EPQ in the Education section because the school has not yet entered the predicted grade; the student should still add the qualification as pending, and the school will later insert the grade.
在 EPQ 相关的问题上，有几个常见误区可能延误或削弱你的 UCAS 申请。最常见的错误是，由于学校尚未录入预估分，学生便遗漏了在教育背景部分添加 EPQ；正确做法是学生仍应将其作为待完成资格加入，学校会随后补填成绩。
Another error is providing an over‑optimistic predicted grade that does not reflect the project’s current quality. This can lead to unrealistic offers and disappointment if the final grade is lower. Always discuss your predicted grade openly with your supervisor and base it on marked drafts and feedback.
另一错误是提供一个过度乐观的预估分，与项目当前质量不符。这可能导致不切实际的录取条件，若最终成绩未达到则带来失望。请始终与导师开诚布公地讨论预估分，并以已批改的草稿和反馈为依据。
Finally, some students forget to check their UCAS Hub on results day, missing an incorrect grade transfer. Set a reminder to verify all awarded grades as soon as they are released. Quick identification of errors allows your school to resolve them before universities make final decisions.
最后，有些学生忘记在放榜日登录 UCAS Hub 核对成绩，从而忽略了成绩传输错误。应设置提醒，在成绩发布的第一时间核实所有授予成绩。迅速发现错误可使学校在大学作出最终决定前解决问题。
11. Tips for Maximising the Value of Your EPQ in the Admissions Process | 发挥 EPQ 在录取中最大价值的技巧
Treat the EPQ not as an add‑on but as a central piece of your application. Tailor your personal statement to mention the EPQ topic and the skills you have developed. Admissions tutors appreciate genuine passion and depth; if your EPQ links directly to your chosen course, describe how the research deepened your understanding and curiosity.
不要把 EPQ 当作附加项，而应将其视为申请的核心部分。在个人陈述中提及 EPQ 主题及你掌握的技能。招生导师欣赏真实的热情与深度；如果你的 EPQ 与所选专业直接相关，请描述这项研究如何加深了你的理解与好奇心。
Use your EPQ presentation or final report as supporting material for interviews if invited. Some universities allow you to upload additional documents or bring a portfolio. A well‑executed EPQ can serve as an excellent talking point that sets you apart from other candidates.
若获面试机会，可将 EPQ 报告或展示作为辅助材料。部分大学允许上传附加文件或携带作品集。一份完成度高的 EPQ 可以成为绝佳的谈资，让你从众多申请者中脱颖而出。
Maintain close communication with your EPQ supervisor and the school exams officer. They are the individuals who will input your predicted grade and confirm your final result, so a good relationship ensures that your application is processed smoothly and accurately.
与你的 EPQ 导师和学校考试官保持密切沟通。他们将负责录入你的预估分并确认最终成绩，因此良好的合作关系能确保你的申请得到顺利且准确的处理。
12. Final Thoughts: Ensuring a Seamless EPQ Submission | 结语：确保 EPQ 提交顺畅无忧
Submitting EPQ grades and predicted grades through UCAS is a collaborative process involving the student, school staff and awarding bodies. Start by adding the qualification early in the application cycle, agree on a realistic predicted grade with your supervisor, and remain alert to deadlines and results day checks. With careful preparation, your EPQ can significantly enhance your university application and your transition to higher education.
通过 UCAS 提交 EPQ 成绩及预估分是一个需要学生、学校教职员工和考试局多方协作的过程。在申请周期开始时就添加该资格，与导师商定一个切合实际的预估分，并时刻关注截止日期和放榜日检查。只要精心准备，你的 EPQ 就能显著提升大学申请的质量，并助力你平滑过渡到高等教育阶段。
