Students wow visitors at annual showcase

Students a Derby College Group have been showing off their academic flair at an annual showcase event.

The recently held Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) showcase, which took place at the Joseph Wright Centre, gave A Level students the opportunity to present their independent research projects to relatives, friends and members of the local community.

The breadth of topics demonstrated the creativity and ambition of this year’s cohort, ranging from cutting-edge science and medicine to history, law, immigration and sport.

Curriculum manager Rajni Rampal, who organised the showcase, said: “The range and quality of projects this year has been phenomenal.

“From science and medicine to law, history, and sport, every student showed incredible passion and dedication.”

Andrew Cochrane, chair of governors at Derby College Group, said: “The Extended Project Qualification is one of the most powerful ways for students to stand out.

“It demonstrates not only academic ability but also the capacity to think critically about real-world issues.

“These projects show just how extraordinary our young people are, and the impact they will have on the future.”
