The three-year full-time degree in Nursing leads to a professional nursing qualification and eligibility to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

This is a practical, patient-centred course with equal amounts of theory and clinical practice which allows you to experience a range of healthcare services.

Studying in Bradford gives you experience of the mental health needs of a very diverse population. Your placements will cover a multi-ethnic city with pockets of affluence but also high levels of deprivation. You will also gain experience in a post-industrial town, a market town and the Yorkshire Dales, all with widely different communities experiencing different mental health problems.

You will receive highly rated support whilst you gain experience in challenging but rewarding clinical placements.

We now accept NVQ Level 3 in a healthcare related discipline - you must be currently working as a healthcare assistant with 2 years’ work experience.

Professional accreditation

This course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as the statutory body and regulator of nursing and midwifery healthcare professions.

Mental Health Nursing prepares students to work in hospital wards, community teams, the independent and voluntary sectors, or specialist mental health services.

Most of our students gain employment locally and immediately upon completion.
