Education and Mental Health

Why does education matter? How does education change our lives? How will studying education prepare you for a career inspiring others?

Education is everywhere – from schools to community organisations, sports foundations to the arts, hospitals to criminal justice settings, and from professional and business services to creative industries including digital and virtual technology.

Our BA (Hons) Education and Mental Health programme equips you with the necessary skills, experience and knowledge needed to pursue a graduate career specialising in the promotion of mental health in these diverse settings. Blending theory with real-world application, it examines key topics such as mental health promotion programmes, child and youth mental health, digital technology, sport, trauma-informed and whole school approaches, neurodiversity, youth and social work, and social and emotional wellbeing.

Our internationally-recognised, research-active staff will provide you with an innovative, applied degree designed in collaboration with industry experts that sets you apart from others and ensures you are well prepared for the diverse opportunities and challenges in the field. With opportunities for placements, real world projects, and hands-on experience in all years of study, graduates leave equipped to inspire change and change lives. It’s not just about understanding education—it’s about shaping its future and working with others to enhance life chances.
