About this course

Mental health nursing is the field of nursing practice dedicated to working with people experiencing mental illness, psychological distress, and the complex social circumstances that both cause and result from poor mental health. Mental health nurses work across inpatient wards, community teams, crisis services, forensic settings, and primary care, using therapeutic relationships, clinical assessment, and evidence-based interventions to support recovery and promote wellbeing. The profession requires both clinical knowledge and the human qualities of empathy, resilience, and the ability to form genuine therapeutic connections with people in acute distress. At Birmingham City University, this three-year, full-time degree provides the clinical skills and experience needed to become a professional practitioner in mental health nursing. The course is NMC approved and is subject to review for
