Start here:

Note a loan is not a 'benefit' - it has to be repaid.

Or 3 years in EU.
Rules is rules. Just find the one you can comply with.

Where have you lived for past 3 years?

18 months in UK?
- where else?

If you meet the rules you can apply.
If you don't you will have to finance yourself, through your own resources, with family help, and/or private bank loans, parttime jobs etc etc.

I and others here have done some or all of those things so no doubt you can too. (For example I had a family, house and mortgage to keep at the time too - as well as full-time study).

I had a parttime job, worked full-time every summer and winter vacation.
Cut expenses to the bone.
Still it nearly killed me - but it paid off in the end.
Family support is vital.

The only other thing you can do is look into bursaries and scholarships.
But at end of day it will come down to you and immediate family.
Good luck.

Perhaps get your EU citizen spouse to exercise treaty rights in a country that will give you free or cheap universtiy fees?

There is a list here from a US site.

You can google and find other EEA countries who do this.
