Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B7P0
Here's what University of Huddersfield says about its Nursing (Mental Health) course.
Mental health nursing involves working with people, their families, carers, and communities, all of whom may experience the impact of mental ill health. This could include people with formal diagnoses, such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, as well as those who do not accept or recognise these diagnostic labels.
Mental health nurses work within the recovery framework to help people make sense of their own experiences.
This course is designed to help you become a confident, competent, and compassionate nurse – and, following successful graduation, you can apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and work as a Registered Nurse in Mental Health.
Why Study Nursing (Mental Health) BSc(Hons) at University of Huddersfield? You’ll practise and develop skills through allocated clinical placements in a range of statutory, private, voluntary, and student-led service. You’ll also hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group.
You’ll be taught by committed and passionate lecturers who are research-active and have experience across the mental health nursing spectrum. They will support you to develop the intellectual, personal, and professional skills you need in this challenging and rewarding field of healthcare.
The University’s new Daphne Steele Building on the site of the National Health Innovation campus allows you to benefit from specialist clinical teaching facilities and world-leading research facilities.
Professional Bodies This course is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
