BNurs Mental Health Nursing

The BNurs/MNurs Mental Health Nursing program is designed to produce highly skilled and versatile graduate nurses specialized in mental health care across various clinical settings. The curriculum is structured to divide time equally between academic theory on campus and practical application within healthcare environments, facilitating collaboration with diverse health professionals. Throughout the duration of the program, comprehensive support is available from academic staff, peers, and experienced clinical colleagues to ensure steady professional development.

While the standard Bachelor of Nursing award encompasses a three-year undergraduate course, an opportunity exists to extend studies by an additional year to complete an integrated master's degree, contingent upon academic performance in the first two years. This advanced pathway, which involves an additional year of tuition, focuses on preparing individuals for leadership and research roles within the nursing profession. The master's level units encourage critical engagement with contemporary issues and provide the tools to contribute new insights to nursing research, education, and clinical practice through specialized study.

Graduates of this program possess a wide range of career options, including direct clinical practice, specialized nursing roles, or leadership positions. Furthermore, the qualification serves as a foundation for pursuing further academic research or professional roles in healthcare education and teaching.
