People With Mental Health Problems: Social Work
Our Mental Health Studies MSc course will equip you with the relevant knowledge in the field of mental health and provide you with the opportunity to examine one area further through both theoretical and empirical research. While our Mental Health Studies course, which was established in 1992, offers mental health professionals a range of opportunities for continuing professional development, an equally high number of our students have not yet embarked on professional training. Some come with a relevant first degree, usually in psychology, and already have work experience in the mental health field.
Graduates pursue various careers in mental health, including clinical training, research assistant positions and PhD study.
After this MSc, youll have the skills you need to start a career in a variety of mental health areas. Youll also be ready to apply for clinical training, research assistant positions, or PhD study.
With a grounding in issues and debates in the field, youll be a great fit for roles outside the NHS and academia too. For example, you might work as a consultant helping government bodies respond to disasters.
If you joined us with experience in the field, youll have boosted your career prospects. Youll also feel confident carrying out research alongside clinical practice.
