BSc Honours Nursing Mental Health

The BSc (Honours) Nursing (Mental Health) at Sheffield Hallam University is designed to help students learn how mental health nurses support people facing a wide range of challenges from depression, anxiety, and dementia to post-natal depression and other conditions that may affect thoughts, emotions and beliefs.

Students will explore the different settings mental health nurses work, including acute inpatients to accident & emergency, to community treatment teams. They will also learn about areas of practice that mental health nurses often specialise in, such as child and adolescent mental health.

Students will have the chance to learn and collaborate with those from other health and social care courses, helping them to deliver person-centred care, with an understanding of how other professionals contribute to a person's journey through health and social care services.
