Overview
If you want to support those experiencing mental health issues, our choice of Masters degrees enable you to specialise in child mental health and wellbeing or mental health awareness in community and professional sport. You can also train as a mental health nurse.
MSc Child & Adolescent Mental Health & Wellbeing examines individual differences, personal attributes and motivations in how children and adolescents behave, while MSc Sport, Physical Activity and Mental Health explores the design, implementation and evaluation of sport and physical activity initiatives which promote mental health.
Alternatively, you may wish to train across educational settings and healthcare sectors in the innovative role of an education mental health practitioner. You will learn how to deliver low intensity interventions to support children and young people experiencing common mental health problems.
You can also train in mental health nursing, via a pre-registration or second registration route.
