About Mental Health Nursing, MSc - at Kingston University London

One in four people experience mental health problems every year, which means the skills you’ll develop on this course are more important than ever. You’ll learn from a team of expert nurses, lecturers and researchers, preparing to make independent, fulfilling lives possible for service users, their relatives and carers.

A large part of this course will be spent on placement or in our award-winning simulation suites. This offers the perfect blend of learning styles and settings to help you refine your practical and therapeutic skills.

You’ll even receive a £5,000 per year, non-repayable NHS Training Grant to support your studies. Check out the NHS Business Service Authority website to find out more.

During the course, you’ll study the core elements of all fields of nursing, as well as modules specific to mental health. You’ll explore the diverse needs and contexts of mental health service users by analysing and applying research and evidence. 

When you graduate, you’ll understand a range of psychological approaches used in clinical practice, and feel prepared to become a registered nurse. Previous students have gone on to secure roles in a range of settings, including hospitals, community teams, prisons, forensics, CAMHS and more.
