What you will study
On our BSc Mental Health Nursing course, you’ll be exposed to a variety of mental health clinical practice experiences where you’ll learn interpersonal engagement and assessment strategies to use with service users, and how to effectively provide care when patients are in crisis.
In your first year, you’ll study topics that are fundamental to mental health nursing, including anatomy and physiology, public health promotion and explore self-awareness and the ability to use the self therapeutically, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree.
During your second year, you’ll begin to plan and deliver effective, evidence-based care to people experiencing specific mental health difficulties. You’ll learn how to empower people on their recovery journeys, utilising mental health policy and multi-agency approaches. You’ll also explore the interrelationship between physical and mental health comorbidities integrating with other health professionals and partner agencies like the police and social care.
In your third year, you’ll develop your decision-making and leadership skills, and will gain insight into how psychosocial, spiritual, ethical and legal influences have an impact on the way patient care is provided.

University of SurreyCivil Engineering MEng (Hons)Hi! I’m Taran, a Civil Engineering MEng student at the University of Surrey. I have completed a year in industry, having gained experience through a placement year and summer placements at large engineering consultancies. These opportunities have helped me understand what civil engineering looks like in practice, especially within the water and infrastructure sectors, and confirmed my interest in building a strong technical career after graduation. I’m particularly interested in how civil engineering projects shape communities and manage real-world challenges like flooding, sustainability, and infrastructure resilience. At university, I’ve enjoyed the balance between technical problem-solving and practical, software-based coursework, and I’ve learned a lot about managing workload, exams, and placements alongside personal goals. I know choosing a degree (and a university) can feel overwhelming, so I’m happy to chat about civil engineering, placements, the MEng route, student life at Surrey, or anything else you’re unsure about. Feel free to message me — I’m always happy to help! Ida
