BSc Nursing Mental Health

The BSc Nursing (Mental Health) course at London Metropolitan University is designed for students who want to work in mental health care. It trains students to care for people with mental and physical health issues. Students learn how to assess needs, plan care, and make decisions in stressful situations. Students spend time practising in clinical and simulated settings. The course gives students the knowledge and skills to support people with mental health needs in hospitals, clinics, and the community.

The course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This means students can apply to become registered nurses when they graduate. Students are taught and required to study topics like psychology, mental health practice, pharmacology, and patient safety. Students are taught through lectures, workshops, and practical training. They will also gain hands-on experience during placements with NHS partners and local health organisations. By the end of the course, students will be ready to start a career as qualified mental health nurses.
