Studying a two years MSc Mental Health nursing after BSc Psychology degree

Hello,

As someone who has already had an interest in people and being able to help/support them. I made the decision to pursue a career in psychology, leading to me gaining a 2:1 degree in psychology in 2020.

Following my graduation, I landed myself a job as a mental health support worker on a specialised EUPD unit delivering a DBT programme. Throughout this experience, my next step was gaining an assistant psychologist post to pursue my goal.

In September 2021 I managed to bag myself an assistant psychologist role which I’m currently in. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the job I’m in and I’m so grateful that I’ve got it. However, I’ve come to realise how much I enjoyed being involved in the ward dynamic and having closer involvement with the patients I work with.

Therefore, I’m really interested in doing a MSc in mental health nursing at Manchester metropolitan university (same university I did my bachelors degree at). I’ve received 3 years student finance funding for my bachelors degree but the masters will be two years long.

Would I be able to get the two years masters funded?
