Overview

This page covers Professional Nursing (Mental Health Nursing) across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Mental Health Nursing often carries additional entry steps such as an interview, a health check or a criminal record check.

Tuition ranges from £22,400 to £26,600 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
