F3 Individual Project: 2025

What is the Individual Project?

The Individual Project is a chance for you to explore and write about a topic that interests you. 

You will need to:

  • choose a topic to explore,
  • write your own research question,
  • do some research,
  • make notes on what you read,
  • explain what the different sources say,
  • produce a short answer to the question you set yourself.

 

In other words, it is the chance for you to decide on, explore and write about whatever interests you, as long as you can do so within the guidelines of the project.

 

 

When will you do this?

On your F3 Individual Project Day (10th or 12th February), you will have the whole day to:

  • Decide on a topic to explore
  • Carry out some initial background reading
  • Make sure you know how to use the library to find print and electronic material for your research
  • Write your research question
  • Carry out some in-depth research and note-taking

After Exeat, with the help of your tutor, you will:

  • Practise including what you read when doing your research in your writing
  • Learn, or brush up on, some referencing skills
  • Write a short response to your research question
  • Reflect on the skills you have developed through the Individual Project
