The government has outlined new funding for nursing, midwifery and other allied health professions courses.

From September 2020, UK/EU students at English universities will receive up to £8,000 with a minimum of £5,000 a year in funding.

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 any subject - you must currently be working in a health environment as a healthcare assistant, support worker or carer with 2 years’ work experience.

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.
