Can I become a Speech and Language Therapist?

Hi there, I am currently in year 13 studying Sociology, English combined (Lit and Lang) and Business.
My first choice is a Primary Education course at Sheffield Hallam in September, but recent tiktok’s are making me question my choices.
I’ve looked at postgrad degrees studying Speech and Language Therapy, but unsure whether an undergraduate in Primary Education would allow me to get on such course? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!!

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: If you look through the job profiles for speech and language therapist....

...you will find that there is a list of approved degrees you can pick from in order to get into the profession. The applicable bodies are: the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
If you look on the RCSLT website, you would find the following:

The following MScs would accept an undergrad in any subject, including primary education:

My question to you is if you intend to be a speech and language therapist, why would you want to do an undergrad in primary education prior to doing the master's when you can qualify by just doing an undergrad in speech and language therapy? Isn't that a long round about way of getting into the profession?
Also, why not do the undergrad in speech and language therapy, then leave yourself to doing a PGCE in primary education with QTS later? There are undergrad degrees in speech and language therapy that accept A Levels in any subjects e.g.

I can't comment on the degree in Primary Education at Sheffield Hallam, but I am curious to know why you think TikTok is a good platform to get advice and reviews from.
