Mental health nurses offer support with a variety of mental health conditions, working with individuals, families and carers. They may specialise in children and young people, older people or working age adults. Our course is designed to develop practitioners with the skills and knowledge to work in a dynamic health care environment. As a dedicated student, you will learn about promoting health, preventing illness and delivering high quality holistic care.

While you will specialise in mental health nursing from the start of the course, the integrated nature of teaching means you will learn with those studying childrenÕs nursing and adult nursing. Sharing ideas between disciplines will broaden your perspective on health care, and help to sharpen your focus on your own field.

You will be taught by motivated and knowledgeable lecturers in the field of mental health nursing, and have opportunities to work in hospitals and homes.
