2-Term Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Healthcare - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing (Mental Health)

Program Description HIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the University of Hertfordshire. Nurses are the largest profession working in mental health services. With a quarter of the population thought to have some form of mental health issues, it's clear that nurses have an essential role in supporting people. Mental health nurses will have the vital and challenging role of establishing therapeutic relationships with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups. This pre-registration course gives students the essential skills to make evidence-based interventions and provide care, while respecting and valuing the aspirations of individuals with mental health challenges. As with other nursing courses, students will spend half their time on placements in clinical settings, putting what they’ve learned into practice.
