The Nursing - Dual Registration in Children and Young People and Mental Health BSc (Hons) at Robert Gordon University is designed for aspiring nurses who seek to develop expertise across two critical areas of healthcare. You will explore the fundamental principles of compassionate, family-centred care, health and wellbeing across the lifespan, and the essential skills for safe nursing practice within diverse, multicultural environments. This undergraduate degree provides a robust academic and practical foundation, preparing you to address complex health challenges and make a significant impact in both children's and mental health nursing.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this BSc (Hons) programme integrates theoretical knowledge with extensive practical experience, with 50% of your learning taking place through practice placements. You will advance your ability to link theory to practice, providing care for individuals with a range of physical, cognitive, or behavioural health challenges. In your final years, you will focus on developing autonomous practice in both Children and Young People's nursing and Mental Health nursing, with a strong emphasis on management, leadership, and research skills. You will graduate with dual registration, enhancing your employability and equipping you for diverse nursing roles, particularly in remote and rural settings.
