What career after a Mental Health and Wellbeing degree?

[TwoNoisyBoys]

I’m thinking of a return to education as a mature student and am attending an open day tomorrow....I’m petrified! I’m interested in studying a BSc in Mental Health and Wellbeing and I’m interested if anyone has done this and what career it’s led to? Any info gratefully received!

I think job prospect wise you'd be better off doing a mental health nursing course to be honest. Then you woukd be qualified in something when you finish if you know what I mean.

I think it would struggle as a stand-alone qualification tbh.

It would be better on top of say an Art degree, Nursing, Community Education, Social Work or Teaching.

Thank you for your replies....that’s what I’m worried about, making a wrong decision and ending up with a useless qualification.....

If you are studying just for interest then I think it sounds great. But if it is for a career change then I'd just check it will qualify you for what you want to do. It's not a subject that links obviously with a career.

MH nursing would take the same length of study if that interests you. I'm a MH nurse if I can answer any questions.

After 3 yr degree, 9 more months to train to become a PWP? NHS have long term recruitment commitment!

Thanks everyone.....I went for the open event and was amazed at the careers the graduates progressed into....think I’m going to go for it!!! 😁
