The course provides comprehensive and contemporary knowledge of mental health enabling practitioners and others with an interest in mental health to be at the forefront of the discipline. As well as the critical analysis of differential understandings of mental health and illness, the course aims to explore issues of assessment, treatment and care planning in practice. The course is multi-professional and partnership working between professions, disciplines and service users is a core theme. In addition to the Mental Health route, it is also possible to specialise further with the education and management routes.
Integrated within the university's Graduate Programme in Health and Social Sciences (GPHSS), the course provides valuable cross-disciplinary experience through common modules shared with other courses in the scheme.

Areas of study
In phase one all students take the generic Mental Health route exploring the social and psychological contexts of mental health. Students also select an optional module from a suggested list of GPHSS modules relevant to mental health. During phase two students again select two options and also take a research methods module. Students taking the education or management routes choose three modules from the GPHSS relevant to their chosen route.
Phase three involves completion of a dissertation which facilitates research into an area of the students choice which is relevant to their own practice. For Mental Health MSc students this is a 60-credit module. For management or education route students this is a research methods module followed by a 40-credit dissertation module.
