Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: B760
Here's what University of Stirling says about its Nursing (Mental Health) course.
Mental Health nursing is a challenging yet rewarding profession where you can make a real difference to people’s lives.
Our innovative Mental Health Nursing course will prepare you to meet the needs of a modern profession and provide the best possible care. You will leave us as a confident and capable practitioner, fully equipped to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and join a health care team upon graduation.
Our course curriculum is informed by the latest research and encourages you to take an evidence-based approach to nursing care. We believe that mental health and wellbeing services must always respect the intrinsic value of people and their individuality.
In practice this means that teaching and learning activities are informed either directly or indirectly by people who have lived experience of mental ill health. This inclusive, values based approach will support your development as a reflective, resilient and socially aware mental health nurse with the capacity to engage in a diverse range of health and social care settings.
You will be allocated a personal tutor who will be a source of guidance information and support during your studies. Whilst undertaking practice learning experiences, you will also be allocated a Practice Assessor and Practice Supervisor who will support your practice based learning.
We work with our course partner, NHS Forth Valley, to ensure that our course remains clinically excellent and our students get the best possible experience while they’re studying. We will inspire and challenge you, so that you leave as a confident and capable practitioner- ready to join a health and social care team upon graduation.

Throughout most of my time a lot was unavailable. Now, things have improved and there are a lot of resources for learning like the library, the atrium has improved with seating availability and food. The accommodation was very good, but expensive.

It’s ok, I got used to a lot of aspects and learned to enjoy being here with time. It was quite easy to stay isolated for the first couple of years, especially during covid, and when there was a lot of construction going on and the common spaces were not what they are now, so I feel like I missed ou...

University of Stirling open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
