What this course is about
UCAS code: B760
Here's what University of Salford says about its Nursing - Registered Nurse (Mental Health) course.
Mental health nurses provide care for people experiencing mental health problems in various settings, including the community, specialist hospitals, and health centres. Mental health nursing is a demanding yet rewarding profession that empowers you to help individuals gain greater control over their mental health.
This programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to work in diverse health and social care settings, promoting mental health and well-being. You will learn how to support individuals during acute phases of distress, work with those struggling with substance misuse or offending behaviour, and assist those with ongoing mental health conditions.
50% of your studies will be conducted in clinical settings, including hospitals and community environments within the NHS and independent sectors, such as prison placements. These placements offer a supportive environment where you will work alongside experienced practice assessors and supervisors, gaining practical experience and developing your professional skills.
In your third year, you may have the opportunity to undertake an international placement, providing you with the chance to experience mental health care outside the UK.
At the University, you will be welcomed into a relaxed and friendly learning environment, with access to a range of facilities including formal teaching, group and one-to-one sessions, and a comfortable and enriching learning space.
Upon successful completion of the programme, you will earn a degree that qualifies you for registration as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Salford is a diverse, ambitious and thriving University – our community encompasses over 23,000 students, 2500 staff and 170,000 alumni, with a student body from over 130 different countries.
We’re located in Greater Manchester in the Northwest of England. Our main Peel Park campus is just minutes away from Manchester city centre and, across the way, we have the Frederick Road campus that is home to our healthcare courses. We are also the only university with a MediaCity campus, sitting right next to neighbours such as ITV and the BBC.
Industry connections are at the heart of everything we do. We form strong partnerships with businesses and organisations from all sectors, working hand-in-hand with them to develop courses that are up-to-date and relevant to today’s challenges, helping you to graduate confident and ready to step into your chosen career.
We are leading in areas including health, energy, media and the built environment and have completed impressive work with business and industry partners. For example, our base at Media City encourages creative collaboration between students, specialist technicians, academics and the media production industry.
We invest heavily in our own campus facilities for the benefit of our students. For example, we have the new £65 million Science, Engineering and Environment building, which is totally electric-powered and supported by 154 solar panels. We also have an Energy House, where research teams can test out the energy efficiency of a home; and an anachronic chamber, which is so quiet that you can start to hear the sound of your own heartbeat.
Salford is not only a great place to study, it’s also a great place to live, work and for future prospects.
