Generally, there is a standard across UK Universities, it would be hard to say what was better than the next. There are many new Universities over there (formerly Polytechnics) and in my opinion some are generically better than the Universities that were already in that town, eg. Glasgow Caledonian University is a better place to study than Strathclyde University, evidenced by the wealth generated, new cutting edge technology in the buildings and droves who go there. So the choice of Uni is a topic in itself… You would however be looking for a Teacher Training college.

Education is a bit more tricky though, since generally people who choose to do that do their undergraduate degrees in Education. You’d really have to contact the Teacher Training College’s that you like the look of and ask what post-grad courses they run.

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland you would require to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, In Scotland you’d require a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education – for both Primary and Secondary education. Entrance qualie (lacking a Bachelors in Education) required for these courses would be a Bachelors degree.

I suggest you telephone and ask a university about the situation.
