The course will provide you with a three-year programme of study in both the theory and practice of mental health nursing, allowing you to function as fully accredited members of the psychiatric multi-disciplinary team. The course has been developed to meet the nursing needs of the increasing population of people with mental health problems. As a graduate, you will be prepared to become dynamic, reflective and highly skilled professionals able to work as fully integrated members of the psychiatric multi-disciplinary team. Your main focus as a mental health nursing's is to cultivate the responsibility that comes with a profession that centres around the well-being of people. We also offer opportunities for personal growth, interpersonal skills development and the foundations of evidence-based interventions to enable you to do so as self-directed practitioners. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diverse learning experience.
