Abertay University Multiple locations Dundee , Scotland , United Kingdom
Overview
The Division of Mental Health Nursing & Counselling has active research programmes (MSc, MPhil, PhD) in mental health nursing practice as a specialist discipline, with a focus on practitioners, education, clinical practice and pluralistic counselling. Researchers from both strands collaborate with colleagues from across the University.
The partnership with the Scottish Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals Research Unit, has led to the Division having a thriving MSc by Research programme for mental health nurses.
The Division is also home to the Tayside Centre for Counselling – a counselling clinic, which supports research degrees in areas such as adjustment to disability and/or long-term health conditions, the effectiveness of counselling interventions, and development of the Pluralistic Framework for Counselling and Psychotherapy Integration.
The clinic is a partner to a number of other UK institutions with shared research aims.
The Mental Health Nursing at Abertay University will prepare you for a rewarding career as an academic and researcher, as well as opening up opportunities for a diverse range of careers outside of academia.
The research degrees
You have the option of studying an MSc by Research, an MPhil or a PhD.
When deciding which degree is right for you, you should consider the level of commitment required, the duration, cost and your career aspirations.
That being said, our research degrees are flexible. You can begin an MSc or an MPhil and then seek to transfer to a PhD without having to start your project all over again. You can also switch from full-time to part-time study, and vice versa.
