Nursing/Registered Nurse: Mental Health Nursing

Make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals experiencing mental illness. Our Mental Health Nursing degree prepares you to become a skilled and highly sought-after professional in this vital field.
You will boost your skills and confidence in safe and supportive learning environments using our on-campus clinical skills and simulation facilities. These include our simulated ward areas, high-dependency care areas, home spaces, and our immersive simulation room.
Alongside this, you will spend equal time on clinical placement in a variety of settings, including inpatient hospital care, dementia care, community, and specialist mental health provision. You will care for individuals across the lifespan who are experiencing different mental health conditions, and our unique campus locations mean you will gain wide-ranging experience working with diverse patient groups in both rural and city areas.
Our academic team are experienced practitioners with a wide range of clinical backgrounds and academic interests. As well as delivering theoretical teaching based on the latest evidence and research, they will support you throughout your degree to ensure your student experience is fulfilling and enjoyable.
The NHS Learning Support Fund, offering at least £5,000 per year, is available to eligible students. For more information and details of eligibility, visit www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/lsf.
