This Master’s degree course in Mental Health Nursing, with professional registration, is open to applicants with a first degree or a higher degree. This course prepares students to work in a variety of mental health settings with a diverse range of people. Students will gain experience within inter-professional practice and develop skills in mental health nursing across the lifespan.
The Nursing & Midwifery Council's (NMC) Standards for Pre-registration Nursing Education (2018) require programs leading to registration to be delivered over 4600 hours, with 50% of this theory and 50% practice. The NMC do however permit prior learning, in any subject, to be recognized where this can be mapped against the program outcomes and requirements. Students applying for this program will therefore need to demonstrate, through an entry portfolio, that they have the relevant experience and learning prior to entering the course.
One of the primary roles of a mental health nurse is to enable and educate, encouraging those experiencing mental health issues to progress towards recovery. Students will rehearse practice skills in our dedicated suites, allowing them to integrate theory into practice in a safe environment.
Placements will see students work in a number of exciting and diverse locations, from NHS hospitals to care homes, private clinics to community nursing teams, giving students the experience needed to grow in both confidence and competence. In addition, the MSc has a focus on research skills and leadership, which meet required practice gaps. Graduates will also be prepared for continued study at PhD level.
Students on this Master’s course will work alongside the BSc (Hons) in Mental Health Nursing students, but will also complete dedicated study at Master's level to achieve a postgraduate qualification.
