EPQ指课外研究项目资质，EPQ项目通过辩论、调查、制作、表演和研究帮助学生提高他们的学术写作、组织和研究能力。更重要的是，在EPQ项目中，我们必须借鉴他人的想法，帮助我们学会“站在巨人的肩膀上”，参与全球知识共享。
在威雅公学，我们坚信EPQ项目可以帮助所有学生为大学生活做好充分的准备。我们相信，学术能力和独立能力对教育发展是至关重要的，这也是我们高年级学生需要在学校的最后两年完成EPQ项目的原因。
从2017年到2018年，我们的英制十三年级学生进行了各种不同主题的EPQ项目。从研究纹身的起源到研究寄生虫的致命性，迸发出了许多有趣的想法及杰出的论点。威雅公学的学生们投入了大量的时间和努力到EPQ项目中，为当今社会中许多有争议的问题提供了全面的观点。
本期刊旨在介绍和总结这些EPQ项目，通过综述来帮助其他人更好地理解这些项目。本期刊包含了来自G. Huster、C. Guo、G. Yu和J. Zhang的EPQ总结文章。所有文章从摘要、绪论、文献综述、发展、结论、评价等方面，将每一个EPQ的部分内容归纳为简洁、准确的语言并阐明了重要观点。
我们希望本次的期刊能成为威雅公学杰出学术成就的一部分。随着EPQ项目的进展，我们又度过了精彩的一年。我们很高兴地看到EPQ项目对我们在读和将要升入英制十三年级的学生在大学申请、未来的学业以及职业前途方面提供巨大的帮助和支持。
EPQ is the shorthand for the Extended Project Qualification, which helps pupil to improve their academic writing, organizing, and researching skills by debating, investigating, crafting, performing and doing research. But more importantly, in the EPQ we must refer to other’s ideas which could help us to learn “to stand on the shoulder of giants” and participate in the global knowledge sharing community.
At Wycombe Abbey International School we believe that the EPQ allows all pupils to prepare fully for life at university. We are sure that the academic skills and independence required are of vital importance to educational development and this is why our Sixth Form complete EPQs in their final two years at our school.
From 2017 to 2018, our year 13s have produced a variety of EPQs of different subjects ranging from the origin of tattooing to the lethality of parasites which offer many interesting and outstanding ideas and arguments. Long hours of research and hard work have gone in to these projects, providing well rounded views on many controversial issues in today’s society.
The purpose of this journal is to introduce and summarise these EPQs, to give out an overview, and help others to understand them well, as a result, this journal contains summary articles that intended to summarize these EPQs by G. Huster, C. Guo, G. Yu and J. Zhang. From the articles, parts of abstract, introduction, literature review, development, conclusion and evaluation from each EPQ have been summarised into brief and precise language and the point of important ideas have been elucidated.
We hope this journal will become part of the fabric of WAIS’s outstanding academic achievement. We are delighted with another wonderful year of EPQ work that will support our current and future Year 13s in their applications to university, future study and future career prospects.
