Primary teaching QTS at Winchester, Cardiff met and Oxford brookes

I’m planning on doing undergrad Primary education (QTS) but I’ve not heard any reviews on this course at Winchester, Oxford Brookes or Cardiff met. Could you give me reviews about the course at these unis (and suggest any other unis down South which do the course well)? And explain why you did / didn’t like it there both in the specific course and the uni as a whole and what the SEND support is like?
