BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing at UWE

Nursing is a challenging but rewarding career that changes lives, including your own. As a mental health nurse you'll play your part in improving access to healthcare, wellbeing, social inclusion and quality of life. Working in a variety of settings, including specialist and community services, and people's homes, mental health nurses provide focused health support to people of all ages.

A £5,000 per year training grant is available for students along with an additional £1,000 per year grant because mental health nurses are in demand in the UK and worldwide. Further information is available on the NHS Business Services website.

As a first or second year student in the School of Health and Social Wellbeing, UWE offer you the exclusive opportunity to explore and develop your leadership skills and potential through the Student Leadership Programme. You'll learn from a passionate, enthusiastic, skilled and supportive team with a range of experience across all the many different aspects of mental health nursing, and other fields of nursing. As many of our staff are active researchers, your learning will be enriched by the very latest in best practice and clinical understanding.

This course has a strong practical focus, allowing you to gain competence carrying out the hands-on tasks you'll perform in your career. About half your time will be spent on placements with UWE's established partners. You'll also have regular access to outstanding facilities, including the Skills Simulation Suite: an imitation ward where you'll be able to develop your clinical expertise in a safe, instructive environment.
