Course overview

We will give you exceptional support as you study for this challenging and fulfilling role. We have exceptional teaching staff, state-of-the-art facilities and placements at London's leading hospitals. There's a shortage of mental health nurses in the UK which means you'll have a high chance of securing work immediately after graduation. After graduating, you can register as a mental health nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and start your career helping to make the world a better place.

Why Study Mental Health Nursing at Middlesex?

Real-world experience: Our placements with our London NHS partners, including Camden & Islington and Barnet, Enfield & Haringey NHS Trusts, will give you opportunities to practise your skills in some of London's most forward-thinking hospitals.

Practical skills: You will develop a comprehensive approach to assessing, treating, care planning, and supporting individuals in their recovery and pursuit of their best lives. Through high-fidelity simulations, you will gain experience in areas such as resuscitation and handling critically ill patients.

Career opportunities: The unique skillset you'll develop will open up opportunities within mental health nursing, teaching, research, educational outreach, public health, the voluntary sector and the armed forces.

Developing your knowledge: You'll have the chance to contribute to projects at our research centres, including our Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (DARC), and Research Centre for Transcultural Studies.

What Will You Learn?

Our course values the practical application of skills in real-life settings as a vital part of nursing training. Therefore, 50% of your study time is spent on placement. You will develop a detailed understanding of severe and enduring mental health conditions, which include dual diagnosis, psychoses, child and adolescent mental health and dementia.
