Level 6 - BSc (Hons) Mental Health and Wellbeing
The Mental Health and Wellbeing degree is validated by Canterbury Christ Church University and delivered at Kingston College by staff from both the University and College. It aims to develop knowledge, skills and attributes that a wide variety of employers, both in the private and public sectors, are looking for.
It gives an opportunity to study mental health and wellbeing in a non-clinical capacity and provides you with an in-depth understanding of mental health and related public health policies that apply to England. Employability will be embedded within different modules across the course and the work-related experience modules all have specific employability focus. Graduates of this course will be equipped with the necessary attributes to work in a variety of roles in statutory and other heath, educational, social care or welfare settings and/or to progress to further specialist study or research.
An interest in mental health and well-being extends far beyond local and national dimensions and now forms part of worldwide focus. The need for the development of a global, national and local workforce that addresses the many multi-factored mental health and well-being requirements of individuals and populations has been further brought to the fore by the global Covid-19 public health pandemic.
The World Health Organisation have called for the development of a mental health system that is fit for the future, one that builds human resource capacity to shift care away from institutions and into community services and equips the workforce with the knowledge and skills to improve mental health and well-being. The World Economic Forum recognises the timely need for a mental health revolution that delivers affordable and accessible mental health care.

They include work based-learning, group discussions, lectures, student presentations, flipped learning (whereby students may read or watch a presentation in advance, and this is discussed in class), problem-based learning, class based discussions, problem solving group work, brainstorming, use of case studies, reflection, use of broadcast media to show health in the real world, library based exercises, role play, creative practical exercises, peer learning, peer teaching, student led seminars, engagement with the virtual learning environment , IT skills, online discussions, and individual and group tutorials. Technologies such as Moodle and Turnitin will be used to support the learning and teaching strategy within the programme.

Some modules will require students to visit a health setting within their local community (e.g. workplace, service or neighbourhood).
