Nursing (Child/Mental Health)

About this programme

The government has outlined new funding for nursing, midwifery and other allied health professions courses. UK/EU students at English universities will receive up to £8,000 with a minimum of £5,000 a year in funding. Our MNurs programme leads to a professional Master's level nursing qualification and eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council in two fields of nursing. This is a practical, patient-centred programme with equal amounts of theory and clinical practice, which enables you to experience different aspects of healthcare. The programme will give you the skills needed to provide compassionate, evidence-based care as a children's nurse and as a mental health nurse. You will be prepared for a career which combines skills from both fields of nursing allowing you to work across clinical specialities. This will provide you with extensive employment opportunities to work in a variety of clinical settings and across clinical disciplines. You will study a range of subjects that underpin nursing, the evidence base behind the role of the nurse and how nurses promote health and well-being. You will develop a wide range of practice skills during practice placements in a variety of clinical areas and your learning will be supported further through simulated practice and clinical skills teaching. Spanning the rural Yorkshire Dales to inner city districts, no other area of the UK offers the rich diversity of clinical experience available through the University and its partner Trusts.
