Universal credit

Hi, I’m starting a access to higher education at college this year, with the plan to start uni next year 2025, to become social worker, I currently get universal credit as a top up for my income I also have kids, my first year of uni I will be able to carry on part time in my self employed role but in my second and third year I will be pretty much full time either doing work experience or uni, therefore my self employed income will possibly be nil, does anyone have any knowledge of whether I will still be able to get UC to top up mine and my husbands income or does becoming a full time student automatically stop all access.
