Mental health nursing is a challenging but rewarding field.

When you graduate, you’ll have the skills and knowledge you need to start your nursing career.

As a graduate, you'll be ready to work as a mental health nurse.

Our course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK, meaning you’ll be eligible to apply for registration with them when you graduate – and start your career in mental health nursing.

You might choose to work in settings such as in-patient care, home treatment, or a community mental health team.
