Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mental Health Nursing

Students will be part of a unique and exciting programme, learning in brand new teaching facilities and in a wide range of clinical placements. Working alongside expert clinical and academic staff, students will have the opportunity to help shape their learning experience. Students will receive excellent support to ensure they achieve both academic and professional success.

On successful completion of the course, students will be eligible to apply for registration as a Mental Health Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Students' learning on the programme will be split between theory in the classroom and clinical practice in a range of placements and in the Clinical Simulation Centre (CSC). Students will develop their theoretical knowledge through lectures, seminars, group work, guided independent study, online learning, reflective practice and a variety of assignments. Students will be taught by expert staff and learn alongside nursing students and students from other health and care professions. Students will gain practical skills and experience through a range of clinical placements, such as community mental health teams, inpatient mental health services, primary care (general practice) and private, voluntary and independent services. Students will also undertake placements focusing on physical care. Students will be supported, supervised and assessed during placements by both clinical and academic staff. Students will also spend a significant amount of time learning in the University of Roehampton's state-of-the-art CSC. These brand new facilities include realistic community and in-hospital settings. Here, students will safely practice clinical skills with other students, service users, carers, role players and hi-tech patient simulators under the guidance of experienced clinical and academic staff. Students will also have the opportunity to organise an elective placement in the UK or abroad.
