BSc Nursing RN Mental Health

The BSc Nursing / RN Mental Health at the University of Salford will equip students with the skills and knowledge to work in various health and social care settings, promoting mental health and well-being. Students will learn how to support individuals during acute phases of distress, work with those struggling with substance misuse or offending behaviour, and assist those with ongoing mental health conditions.

50% of students' studies will be conducted in clinical settings, including hospitals and community environments within the NHS and independent sectors, such as prison placements. These placements offer a supportive environment where you will work alongside experienced practice assessors and supervisors, gaining practical experience and developing your professional skills. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will earn a degree that qualifies them for registration as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Mental health nurses provide care for people experiencing mental health problems in various settings, including the community, specialist hospitals, and health centres. Mental health nursing is a demanding yet rewarding profession that empowers you to help individuals gain greater control over their mental health.
