BSc (Hons) Nursing (Mental Health)

Study mental health nursing and play a crucial role in helping people who are experiencing or recovering from a range of mental health problems. Mental health nursing is a diverse profession, meaning you'll have an array of roles to work in upon graduation. This innovative and hands-on Mental Health Nursing degree will teach you how to support people with different mental health problems, in different settings, making you an adaptable and person-centred practitioner.

Your course will start with exploring the role of the nurse in contemporary healthcare and the fundamentals of compassionate person-centred nursing practice. Throughout the first year you'll study with nursing students from the other fields of nursing, taking part in simulated learning and undertaking clinical practice placements. Years two and three will focus on your chosen field and will ensure you become a professional and competent newly qualified nurse, ready for a graduate role.

The best way to study mental health nursing is through a combination of practical experience and theoretical knowledge. From day one, you'll be immersed in nursing practice and supported by academics and professionals with vast experience. Practice placements and simulation will be an integral part to your studies. You'll learn in state-of-the-art simulation facilities, using the latest virtual reality technology to practise nursing in a safe and supportive environment.
