Become a Nurse, or expand your practice, and change patients' lives at a global top 100 (QS World University Rankings 2024) university.

This graduate-entry accelerated course provides you with the skills and expertise to work in the care of people across the spectrum of society as a Mental Health Nurse. This course also enables applicants who are already graduate nurses to gain registration in a second field of practice in around 20 months through recognition of prior learning.

This course has two routes: the MSc and the PG Diploma. After you've successfully completed the PG Diploma you can also ‘top up’ to a full MSc by completing a dissertation module.

At Southampton, assessments are designed to equip you with the skills you need for success in your career.

On this course, your theoretical skills will be assessed through essays, examinations, projects, professional conversations, and a dissertation. Practical skills will be assessed whilst you are on placement and recorded by your practice mentor.

Professional bodies: Nursing and Midwifery Council.
