The interviewer is asking for an overview of your education, which may seem redundant considering your degree is likely outlined on your resume. However, the interviewer also wants to know why you believe your education and training are relevant to the role.
Amazon hires from two pools of candidates for its Brand Specialist openings:
1) Recent (or expected) graduates. If you are applying as a graduate, Amazon asks that you be in your final year of study for a Bachelor's or Master's degree or that you have graduated with your degree within the last 6 months. In addition, Amazon prefers studies within Engineering, Commerce, Business Administration, or similar field.
2) Young professionals. If you are applying as a young professional, Amazon asks that you hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Business, or a similar field. In addition, they look for 1 to 3 years of experience in Sales, Finance, Retail Buying, and Planning, Project Management, Supply Chain, or Consulting.
Take a minute or two to walk the interviewer through your post-secondary education. Discuss your favorite or best coursework and where your skills shone through during this time. Then, be sure to connect how your knowledge and experiences will add value to the Amazon team should they hire you as a Brand Specialist.

"I graduated from University XYZ three months ago with my Bachelor of Commerce. I received various scholarships due to my strong grades, and I was on the Dean's list for three out of four years. This program placed a strong focus on experiential opportunities, and it combined classroom learning with real-world experience. Some of my biggest takeaways included gaining an international perspective on business and practical knowledge in leadership. My best grades were in Strategy and Global Management and Supply Chain Management. I also performed very well in my Risk Management and Finance courses. This education helped me build a strong foundational knowledge in business, professional discipline, and interpersonal skills. I look forward to joining Amazon and applying my post-secondary experiences to impact as a Brand Specialist. Specifically, I am eager to working closely with Amazon's key vendors to help promote their brands and products, enable them to reach new customers, and boost their sales performance."
