About this course
**Overview**
With one in four people experiencing symptoms of mental health problems during their lifetime, alongside society’s increasing interest in and awareness of mental health and wellbeing, mental health nursing has never been more important.
At UEA, we strive to deliver the best education so that you can go on to deliver the best mental health care. As a mental health nurse, you’ll work alongside individuals and their families, empowering them to manage their conditions and work towards recovery through collaborative person-centered assessment and care. You’ll work with a range of health and social care professionals to provide evidence-based interventions. This is challenging but important and rewarding work.
Our three-year undergraduate degree provides a wide range of opportunities for personal development and the pursuit of personal interests relating to your field of study. As a student at UEA, you’ll study aspects of mental health nursing which include both core nursing skills and specialist mental health such as working with children and with people who have dementia, both in hospital and in the community.
Study for your BSc Mental Health Nursing at UEA and you’ll benefit from service-user contact from the very outset and a personal advisor to guide you throughout your studies. As part of the course, you’ll:
Develop your specialist knowledge through case-based discussions and simulated practice alongside more traditional styles of learning such as seminar work and group presentations.
Practice your skills in a supported healthcare environment during placements under the guidance of experienced and specialist staff.
Learn how to aid and support the recovery of people with mental health problems, working alongside a range of health and social care professions as part of multidisciplinary teams.
Develop your own personal strengths and qualities as part of a supportive environment of learning where critical questioning and active engagement is encouraged.
Benefit from research-led teaching and the clinical experience and expertise of the lecturers and alumni.
In the final year of your studies, you can pursue a five-week placement of your own choosing, including the opportunity of an international placement.
As well as being an evidence-based nurse come the end of your training, you’ll have developed a reflective practice. You’ll graduate as a values-based nurse skilled in the art and science of mental health nursing and be ready to enter a number of mental-health related fields.
