Course Description
Mental illness requires just as much care as physical illness – sometimes even more so. As a mental health nurse, you’ll be crucial in helping people get their lives back on track.
You’ll learn from our experienced lecturers and technicians using state-of-the-art simulation facilities, coupled with time out on clinical placement. This combined learning approach of theory and practice will prepare you to provide safe, compassionate care and become a confident nurse.
Upon completion of the degree, you’ll be eligible to apply for admission to Nursing & Midwifery Council.
Why study this subject?
Whether you have personal experience of mental illness, supported friends and family, or simply want to help those who struggle day-to-day, becoming a mental health nurse may be a great fit for you. No two days within this job are the same – mental health comprises a vast and diverse range of illnesses that you will have to respond to, such as anxiety, depression, psychotic disturbances, paranoia and dementia.
To support your studies, the UK Government are continuing to provide mental health nursing students with a payment of at least £5,000 a year which will not need to be paid back through the NHS Learning Support Fund.
Why study at Buckinghamshire New University?
We've been running nursing programmes for many years and students benefit from an excellent standard of teaching provided by staff from the University. Our lecturers maintain close links with practice, ensuring that the programme is always kept up to date.
Alongside your studies, you will take part in a range of clinical placements with our NHS partner hospitals and homes. We work with a range of partners across the region and our students are highly respected whilst out in practice. The main NHS Trusts we are currently working with include: Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and West London NHS Trust.
As a BNU student, you will automatically become a member of Bucks Students’ Union giving you access to a wide range of services that we offer for free as part of our exclusive Big Deal package – including joining the Nursing Society. We are the only university in the UK to offer our members free access to such a diverse and exciting range of activities, allowing them to experience new things, socialise with broader groups of people and boost their employability – all to enrich your university experience.
What facilities can I use?
We utilise state-of-the-art simulation facilities for learning, development and practicing of skills – our purpose-built wards include real equipment, just like you’d find in hospital. Simulation is an important aspect of our nursing and healthcare programmes. You will regularly spend time in the simulation labs, taking part in realistic scenarios to practise a broad spectrum of technical skills in a safe and supportive environment.
What will I study?
During your time on the programme, you will understand the theory behind diagnosis that can help you to make crucial decisions when looking after a patient. You will be able to lead changes in practice, improving the quality of delivery of care. On placement, you’ll be able to put your theory into practice where you’ll be mentored in the art of patient care.
