This four-year Mental Health Nursing degree includes a foundation year. It's an ideal alternative for those who don't meet the entry requirements for the three-year program but can demonstrate a commitment to nursing and provide relevant life experience.

Your first year will build up your knowledge of the fundamentals of human anatomy and the core principles of care, where you will learn and collaborate with students of other healthcare professions. With a focus on key study skills and techniques, the integrated foundation year will ease the transition of studying at degree-level, whether you’re joining us from school, college, or employment.

You’ll learn the theory and put it into practice with hands-on skills and simulation days in the final three years of the course. These sessions take place in our simulation suites which replicate the clinical environment you’ll be working in when you graduate. By working through simulated case studies and clinical scenarios, you’ll have an authentic insight into the role of a mental health nurse and improve your confidence.

To fully prepare you for a career as a mental health nurse, you’ll learn about mental health conditions and how to care for patients of all ages. Learn the best techniques to form relationships and build trust with your patients to help them overcome their challenges and make a difference in their lives.

Your lecturers will get to know you personally. Through tailored support and reflections, they will get to know your strengths and where you can develop. When you start, you’ll be assigned a Personal Academic Tutor, usually this is one of the lecturers teaching your course and they typically remain with you throughout your studies.
