Anyone else applying for Education BA?

Hii, I was just wondering if anyone else is applying/has applied for education for 2023 entry? I haven't seen anyone discuss this degree and when I search it hardly anything comes up haha. If so, which unis are you considering and what made you choose the course? <3

I haven't applied for BA Education, but I thought you might have found it crucial to know that if the degree doesn't have QTS, you won't be able to use it to teach in school (very likely primary education).

For example, the following degrees don't appear to have QTS:

https://www.york.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/ba-education/

The following do:

I just sent in my application for primary teaching today! I’m super nervous and I’m really hoping to get into John moores or hope in Liverpool. I’ve also applied to Edge hill which is outside Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff but I only want to go to Liverpool.

Hey,
I graduated in BA Education studies in 2020 and i am now planning to return to uni in sept 2023 to do Primary PGCE. From my experience with that course, my advice would be if you know you will be going down the teaching career path then dont waste your time doing Education Studies. Instead go straight into early years/primary teaching
