    Jobseekers allowance is non transferable. You could apply for Back to Education Allowance.

    No, and you would not get benefits from the north if you are a student part time or full time.

    Back to Education Allowance is for full time courses only.

    There is a part time option as well. You fill out the same form.

    Thats true, but the OP couldn't do the part time option and live in Newry and keep his claim. If it was a full time degree course under BTEA it would be OK.
