Tell us a bit about you!

We spoke with Em Quinton, a BSc Psychology in Education graduate, who recently won the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Undergraduate Award 2024.

She told us all about how she ended up studying at the School of Education (which was not initially her plan A!), her favourite modules and her first reaction to receiving the prestigious award from BERA this summer.

It turned out that Psychology in Education was far, far better suited to my skills and interests than my original plan would have been, so I’m glad I carried on with my plan B!
