Adult and Mental Health Nursing MSci

About

This integrated masters course will prepare you to apply to the NMC register as a Registered Nurse in the fields of Adult Nursing and the field of Mental Health Nursing.

The course is highly practical, giving you hands-on experience. You'll spend 50% of your time on placement in hospitals, in the community and in our skills and simulation labs developing valuable hands-on skills. You'll work with patients, carers, clinical mentors and other healthcare professionals. Placement opportunities include medical and surgical wards, oncology, ICU, A&E, coronary care, operating theatres, district nursing, GP practice nursing and integrated community teams.

You'll learn in our award-winning simulation suite and experience a wide range of realistic environments, including hospital wards and community settings.

The course is taught by experts in A&E, ICU, neurology, cancer and palliative care, community nursing, health visiting and mental health. They will help guide you to practice your skills in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

The NMC commended the range of student engagement activities available on this course. You can engage with volunteering, fundraising, sports, societies, research and staff/student events. You'll explore concepts of nursing through arts-based education including plays, literature, museum visits, art exhibitions and drama workshops.
