Here at Roehampton we can help you achieve that with our MSci in Adult and Mental Health Nursing.
This course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
You’ll be part of a unique and exciting dual-field programme, where you’ll learn the required skills to succeed as both an Adult Nurse and a Mental Health Nurse.

You’ll develop your theoretical knowledge through lectures, seminars, group work, guided independent study, online learning, reflective practice and a variety of assignments. In year 4 you’ll also undertake an independent project to extend and apply your research and analytical skills.
You’ll gain practical skills and experience through a range of mental health and adult nursing placements, such as community mental health teams, inpatient mental health services, primary care (general practice), community nursing (district nursing), hospices, care homes and acute hospitals. You will be supported, supervised and assessed during placements by both clinical and academic staff.
You will also spend a significant amount of time learning in our new Clinical Simulation Centre (CSC). These brand-new facilities include realistic community and in-hospital settings.
