Returning to education after brain injury

Returning to education after brain injury can be a great way of acquiring the skills and qualifications necessary to return to employment. Studying can also provide pleasure and a sense of purpose, even for those who might not be able to return to work.

Reasons for returning to education include:

• Improving knowledge and skills
• Gaining qualifications
• Increasing your confidence
• Meeting new people
• Finding out what you can do and what you need help with

Returning to full-time courses can be hard after brain injury, as learning new information is often more difficult. Part-time courses are often the best way to start if you have not been in education for a while.
