    UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

    EPQ stands for “Extended Project Qualification”, and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

      A-level? Enhancement subject? Is that like something you can hand in for extra credit?

        A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.

        An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.
