Overview

In the Nursing (Mental Health) course at the University of York , you'll learn how to develop a therapeutic relationship with your clients and gain the skills you need to help people with mental health problems.

Quick Facts:

You'll graduate ready to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a highly-skilled mental health nurse, able to provide outstanding care to patients. Learning together with adult nursing students means that you will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to enable you to provide holistic care to your patients and their families. Through theoretical study, practical experience and reflective discussion, you will develop your skills in mental health nursing. We will encourage and help you to develop an intellectual curiosity that will support your development throughout your career.

There are so many opportunities for you upon successful completion of your programme. Most of our students start their careers as Band 5 staff nurses in the NHS. Others take up opportunities in social care or independent sector organisations. Employment opportunities extend beyond clinical practice and into research, education and policy-making, for example.
