Can you study whilst on maternity leave?

[molifly]

I was just wondering if anybody knew as I can't find any clear guidelines.

Whilst receiving SMP, am I able to enrol onto a full time course or would I need to resign from my role first?

Hi molifly,
What are you thinking about studying and how? (online?) What is your current role? Full time, part time?

@jenedmo My course would be an access to higher education course and would be through the open university or through a local college- undecided yet. My role is a full time role but will be part time on my return to work. Thank you!
