Why study BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing at BNU?NMC Registration
Our mental health nursing degree programme integrates academic study alongside practice-based learning. It is underpinned by a strong collaboration between the University, service users (experts by experience) and our NHS practice partners, in response to both Nursing & Midwifery Council policy and regulatory developments. Upon completing this degree, you will be qualified to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council, beginning a distinguished career as a registered mental health nurse.
FacilitiesWe have developed a comprehensive suite of facilities specifically tailored to enhance the learning experience in the field of mental health nursing, and designed to help with creating real-life scenarios. Simulation plays a pivotal role in our nursing programs, particularly in the context of mental health. Across our campuses, we have meticulously constructed simulation labs that replicate working wards and other relevant settings. These facilities are not just about practicing technical skills they are designed to immerse you in scenarios that closely mirror the complexities and nuances of mental health care. This helps ensure that when you embark on your placements, you are well prepared and confident in your abilities.
PlacementsThroughout the course, you’ll allocate approximately half of your time to clinical practice and the remaining half to University-based learning. Our strong partnerships with various NHS Trusts and independent care providers in the region ensure that students have diverse and enriching clinical placements. You may also have the opportunity to placement in a number of private health care providers, prisons, nursing homes or GP surgeries.
SupportWhilst nursing is a rewarding career, we also understand studying mental health nursing at university can be challenging at times. You’ll have direct support both in the classroom and on placement from a personal tutor. On campus you can find further support at our Student Wellbeing Centre and Student Learning Achievement Centre.To financially support your studies, the UK Government provide mental health nursing students with a payment of at least £5,000 a year which will not need to be paid back.
