Help in further and higher education

Information for students living with migraine in further and higher education

Information to help you

Migraine shouldn’t be a barrier to continuing education. We have produced a guide: ‘Migraine: Help in further and higher education’ for students and those working in education to learn more about managing migraine within an educational setting. Information is included on student rights in education, understanding and explaining migraine as a disability, managing migraine and getting support.
