Q&A with Eunice Hackel

Eunice is completing her final year of the Psychology with Education BSc degree. Returning to study after working full time, she shares the new perspectives that UCL life has brought her.

Criticising a system is easy. But what solutions are being offered? With psychology I felt solutions were given on how to tackle some of the problems within education holistically and inclusively without losing oneself in politics and government decisions.

I mean, is it not fascinating for a student to have lectures inviting them to participate in research on eating disorder, informing them on their current research on bilingualism or on the use of virtual reality in mental health?

Perhaps the pandemic has reminded us once more that human experience comes before everything else. And this is what I would recommend the IOE for.

It was refreshing to not only to be taught by “traditional” university professors but by clinicians, researchers... [it] makes a huge difference in my opinion.
