Nursing with Registration as a Mental Health Nurse MSc (Graduate Entry)

King's College London, University of London

The mental health crisis is one of the great challenges of our time. Study mental health nursing at King’s to become a competent and compassionate professional ready to improve the lives of a wide range of people.

A civic university with a mission to make the world a better place. Placements and links with top NHS trusts and private sector organisations. Leading academics drawing on expertise across specialisms and around the world.

But, as impressive as it is, our reputation doesn’t tell the whole story.

You’ll be part of a small cohort where the teaching staff know everyone’s name. They’re not just researchers teaching on the side – you’ll notice that your tutors really care about education, constantly striving to improve their methods.

We welcome a broad range of applicants, whether you’re a nurse looking to gain a new registration or a graduate in an unrelated field. The diversity you’ll experience will broaden your perspective. We’re also mindful of the attainment gap between students of different backgrounds, so past academic performance won’t be the only thing we’re looking for.
