Mental illness has a huge impact on the physical health of an individual.

In addition, people with long-term physical health conditions are more likely to suffer from a mental health issue, particularly depression. This Masters programme, where you will be eligible to apply for registration with the NMC as a registered nurse in the mental health and adult fields of nursing, will provide you with the opportunity to meet this demand. Successful graduates will have an internationally recognized qualification and will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This course will accelerate your career progression and open up a variety of fascinating career opportunities across both adult and mental health fields of practice. This MSc ideally positions you to pursue an accelerated career pathway and become a future leader, clinical expert or researcher within the nursing profession. Your personal career aspirations can be discussed during your programme with your personal tutor and you may also seek help and guidance from the Careers Service. You will also be given opportunities to prepare for interviews and develop Personal Development Plans during the programme. During this course students will also achieve PgCert and PgDip awards.
