What is epqinthecanaries?

We are a personal educational project based in Gran Canaria, Spain, offering the unique opportunity to complete your EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) in the Canary Islands. Immerse yourself in an environment of exceptional biodiversity while completing your project.

 

We are a group of biologists, high school teachers for many years and graduates in Marine Sciences, who want to promote small research projects to facilitate access to European universities and to bring the Canary Islands environment closer to students from all over Europe.

 

And if you don't need it, you can enjoy with your students an educational experience working in the field in the environment of your choice and adapted to the ages and needs of your school.

 

We will help you to cover the aspects  and practical skills of the A-Level, OCR,  Edexcel and other curricula with your own projects in the activity.

Why the  Canaries?

The Canary Islands are a unique biodiversity hotspot in the world, making them the perfect place to explore environmental, biological and geological topics in your EPQ. In addition, the favourable year-round climate allows field research to be carried out at any time.

There are about 4000 endemic species in the Canary Islands, which makes it possible to compare different adaptations to bioclimatic factors within a few metres of each other.
