About the course
Nursing is one of the most varied and challenging careers anyone can undertake. Nursing is frequently described as exciting and fulfilling; no two days are the same. Our MSc is your entry route through to nurse registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a nurse in the mental health field. Graduates in any discipline with recent health care experience can apply for our two year programme.
Key features

- Focus on developing your interpersonal skills and the importance of building therapeutic relationships.
- Equip yourself with the knowledge and confidence to graduate with professional status as a registered mental health nurse.
- Qualify with outstanding employment opportunities in a profession that offers excellent career progression.

- Dedicated master’s level seminar and tutorial support time. Built around critical reflexivity (thinking deeply about the impact of our assumptions, values, and actions on others). The programme cumulates in a 40 credit systematic review module that prepares you to perform as a capable and autonomous practitioner, fit for registration in the mental health field of nursing practice.
