Secondary Science teaching (X130) (QTS)

Why don't you want to do a conventional science degree? You can do a Secondary Science PGCE afterwards, or train on the job with School Direct. I'm pretty sceptical of secondary teaching with QTS degrees, the fact they are so rare makes me think schools don't particularly like them.

Thank you for your reply.
The QTS degree allows you to cover 1 of the three sciences with enough detail for you to teach it at ALEVEL standards. This course takes 3 years instead of the normal for example Chemistry degree+PGCE in 4years.
Plus it is a lot easier to get onto this degree than a chemistry degree. However I am confused as to why NTU decided to withdraw this course.

Just because a university says something doesn't make it true. I would be very surprised if schools let someone with a general science degree teach A level chemistry, biology or physics. An extra year is not the end of the world, and like I said, you could train to be a teacher on the job via School Direct so you don't have to stay at uni for four years if you don't want to. The most likely reason why NTU aren't running the degree is lack of interest.

What are your A level grades if you don't mind me asking?

you could ask them why it was cancelled

another possibility is taking a different BSc and then doing a subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) course in a shortage subject - again it's less straight forward.
