BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing has been designed to meet the future nursing proficiencies set out by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2018). Upon successful completion, it will allow you to register and work as a graduate mental health nurse.
We aim to develop your knowledge, skills, and academic capacities so you can build a meaningful nursing career that balances your continuous personal growth with doing public good for the varied communities you will care for throughout your working life.
The course will consider how to provide mental health care in a contemporary, culturally diverse context and what is needed for the profession to continuously improve and add value to the lived experiences of the populations we serve.
You will complete a series of theory modules over three parts that analyze and critique modern mental health approaches and treatment modalities, including the medical model, psychotherapeutic approaches, anthropological understanding of health beliefs, public health approaches, and the social determinants of health, among other ideas and concepts.
