We spoke with Em Quinton, a BSc Psychology in Education graduate, who 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, her favourite modules and her reaction to receiving the prestigious award from BERA.

Why did you want to study for a BSc Psychology in Education degree at the University of Bristol?
In the very beginning, I actually wanted to study neuroscience. Covid meant I couldn’t take my A-Levels, so I sort of happily fell into the course. I was desperate to be in Bristol, and wanted to do something psychology-related. 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!
