Master of Laws [L.L.M] [Public International Law] From University of Leicester

'Mental health' properly describes a sense of well-being: the capacity to live in a resourceful and fulfilling manner, having the resilience to deal with the challenges and obstacles which life presents.

Mental health 'problems' or 'difficulties' are terms that can be used to describe temporary reactions to a painful event, stress or external pressures, or systems of drug or alcohol use, lack of sleep or physical illness; this terminology may also be used to describe long-term psychiatric conditions which may have significant effects on an individual's functioning.

The BSc Nursing - Mental Health Programme from University of Leeds will provide you with the opportunity to study mental health nursing in depth. You will be exposed to inspirational research-led teaching. We offer innovative and creative learning with a central focus on service user experiences. Our commitment is to help students develop effective skills in working with people experiencing diverse and complex mental health problems. This will involve working with people experiencing a wide range of mental health problems across the lifespan from young people to older adults.

Our aim is that you will develop enhanced self-awareness and dynamic interactive skills which enable you to respond to service users and carers across a wide range of encounters. This forms the base for holistic care interventions, which includes psychological, physical, and social approaches. The spectrum of mental health services accessed through the programme equips you with many opportunities to further specialise on completion.
