If you are talking about Leeds uni rather than Leeds met, my dad is a prof in education, in case you want to know anything I could ask.

Leeds Met - Headingly campus

do they teach education at Leeds uni?

i wanted to know if it is a good base to start teaching in the near future. dont know wether i am taking the right path. dont want to do the 4 year teaching degree just the three.

what is involved in the eduaction studies course? is it just about learning about eduaction itself or is it about teaching as well?

I do not know anything about the Met course, but at Leeds education is quite academic and alot of it is based on methods and research. I do not think a university degree in Education is necessarily seen as the way into teaching, as most of the people my dad teaches are career academics and not that interested in the practical stuff. From what I understand teachers tend to have done degrees in traditional subjects and then done teacher training courses.
