MSc Computer Animation and Visual Effects

Course details

The MSc Mental Health Nursing course is part of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences Nursing Framework which also offers three BSc degrees and the MSc Adult Nursing course. We have developed this course as part of a co-ordinated suite of nursing courses to enhance student learning and prepare you for practice.

Our approach to interprofessional education means that throughout the course students will take part in shared workshops, lectures and learning events with other students on health-related courses, including those on the both the BSc and other MSc nursing pathways.

However as a Master’s level mental health nursing student, there will be aspects of the course where you will be taught by staff who have specific nursing experience in this area and you will be taught in groups with other mental health nursing students, so that your learning is tailored and specific to your chosen field of expertise. Your placements and assessments will also be field-specific and you will use mental health nursing case scenarios to apply learning to mental health nursing practice. Your academic tutor will focus on your individual development at Master’s level.

You will be taught by a range of staff with relevant expertise and knowledge appropriate to the content of the units. This will include senior academic staff, qualified professional practitioners, demonstrators and technicians. You will also benefit from regular guest lectures from industry.

Students must have a first degree to be eligible for this course. We also offer a BSc (Hons) in Mental Health Nursing if you don’t have a degree.
