John left school with insufficient qualifications for University entry. He took employment for four years as a technician in chemistry and physics laboratories whilst studying at the technical college in order to gain acceptable examinations for University entry.Whilst at University he lived in rooms within bicycling distance of college. With no financial backing from divorced parents,both living in Africa,he supported his college studies by night-portering at a local YMCA hostel,chemistry teaching at High Pavement Grammar school, and by working as a hormones research technician in an industrial hormones research department.
At University John gained an Arts degree (psychology and philosophy) and a Natural Sciences degree(animal physiology and biochemistry).
A post-graduate diploma in Educational Psychology and Learning was a further one year of full time study. John was his late twenties when he searched for his first full-time employment.
John joined the new Oxford Further Education College as one of the founding science faculty members. This college evolved out of a John Brookes earlier foundation, eventually becoming a Polytechnic and later Oxford Brookes University. The biomedical students were drawn from local employers in hospitals and University research laboratories as well as full-time students seeking University entry qualifications.
