Course summary

BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing enables students to gain a professional qualification and an Honours degree. Students will in addition be encouraged to develop the skills of independent learning, critical analysis, leadership, management and decision making. Mental health nursing entails working closely with individuals to help them achieve self-care and independence within a professional context. This developmental process for the individual being cared for, demands the nurse to possess the highest levels of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.

Personal insight and emotional maturity stand as essential attributes of a qualified mental health nurse. This course aims to cultivate both these qualities, recognising them as vital to effective practice. This course provides students with an opportunity to focus on the distinct health needs of service users and their families/carers. Nursing inherently involves collaboration with diverse individuals accessing healthcare services, encompassing a wide spectrum of ages and circumstances, including short or longer-term mental health experiences, along with the associated complexities of physical, social, and emotional needs.

Graduates can progress in to a variety of careers including those in community and hospital settings, education and research. There are numerous opportunities for continued professional development and progression to higher degree study.

At the University of Suffolk, we consider the full application as part of determining if you will succeed on our courses. We are therefore flexible where possible and might still be able to accept you if you do not meet your expected grades. As part of this, we make contextual offers, where we consider the factors that might have an impact on achievement. This means that some applicants will receive an offer of one grade below our published entry requirements. Please see our website.
