Nursing (Mental Health)

Summary

Mental health nursing involves working with people, their families, carers, and communities, all of whom may experience the impact of mental ill health. This could include people with formal diagnoses, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, as well as those who do not accept or recognise these diagnostic labels.

Mental health nurses work within the recovery framework to help people make sense of their own experiences; our nursing mental health course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive as a healthcare professional.

Why study Nursing (Mental Health) BSc(Hons)

If you’re keen to enter the world of mental health nursing, this course could help open doors to a rewarding, lifelong career. It is designed to help you become a confident, competent, and compassionate nurse – and, following successful graduation, you’ll be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and work as a Registered Nurse in Mental Health.

Alongside building your theoretical knowledge in lectures and seminars, you’ll be able to focus on your practical skills through simulation and group work. On the course, you’ll practice and develop your skills through allocated clinical placements in a range of statutory, private, voluntary, and student-led service.

To enhance your learning, you’ll hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group. Our teaching staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2022), so you can be sure you’re learning from the best, too.

What’s more, in 2024, the University’s new Daphne Steele Building will open on the site of the National Health Innovation campus, which will allow our Mental Health Nursing students to benefit from specialist, clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities.
