Hi Amelia, you have asked the same question a few times, if it's ok I will just copy and paste the answer.
As far as I know, the military do not currently recruit psychologists to join the Army. They do however employ civilian psychologists in a military setting. These jobs are usually advertised on the NHS jobs website, or the civil service website.
You cannot do a psychology degree to become a mental health nurse as all nurses must be registered with the nursing and midwifery council, and a psychology degree does not allow for this.
Full information on joining as a mental health nurse can be found here https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/mental-health-nurse
If you are set on joining the army and doing a psychology degree, I would advise starting an application on our website, it doesn't tie you in to anything, but you will be able to speak to someone from the recruitment team who will be able to give you more advise on what roles are available.
I hope that helps.
