Nursing (Mental Health)

Nurses play a critical role in society: they help individuals achieve, maintain or regain the best possible health, and at other times, they provide comfort, support and dignity in times of illness or death. They often work in conjunction with families, groups or the larger community.

In addition to professionalism, a nurse must practice with intelligence, compassion and enthusiasm.

DCU’s BSc in Nursing (Mental Health) programme employs a combination of academic and practical learning to instill you with competence in clinical, theoretical, ethical, intercultural and cross-disciplinary knowledge. You’ll focus on the fundamental issues in nursing practice, and integrate these with aspects of psychology, sociology, philosophy, law, pharmacology and microbiology. You’ll also have a chance to put your new skills to practice under the guidance of registered nurses in a real-world work environment.

The specialty in Mental Health will help you work with people of all ages and backgrounds who are experiencing mental illness or distress. You’ll learn about promoting mental health, preventing mental illness and caring for those with mental illness and their families.
