Course summary
Overview Join UEA’s BSc Mental Health Nursing programme and take the first step toward a rewarding and impactful career. With one in four people experiencing mental health challenges at some point in their lives, mental health nursing has never been more vital. We’re committed to delivering a world-class education that will equip the next generation of mental health professionals to address the evolving landscape of mental health. With a strong reputation for healthcare education, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative research, this is the ideal place to launch your career in this field of nursing. You'll benefit from research-led teaching as well as access to clinical expertise. You'll undertake placements in diverse settings such as NHS hospitals, community mental health teams, crisis intervention units, and rehabilitation centres. The programme covers both foundational nursing skills and specialised mental health topics, working across the life span from birth to death, supporting individuals with a variety of mental health presentations including more complex conditions such as eating disorders, psychosis, PTSD, and personality disorders. The curriculum is built around contemporary mental health concerns, such as digital mental health interventions, the impact of social media on well-being, and the growing need for trauma-informed care. At UEA, our curriculum emphasises compassionate, holistic care. You'll learn how to address mental health issues by considering psychological, sociological, and biological factors, alongside medical treatment. As well as employing service-users/ex-service users wherever possible to support your learning in the classroom, our patient-centred approach helps reduce stigma and promotes long-term recovery and well-being. We provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment, with small class sizes and personal tutors who ensure you feel valued throughout your studies. Graduates of our Mental Health Nursing programme are highly sought after by employers. With strong connections to the NHS and private healthcare providers, you'll be well-positioned for a range of careers in hospitals, community settings, and specialist mental health services.
