How being a student would affect my benefits

I was wondering if anyone could help me please?
At the moment i am on ESA and recieve CT and HB, waiting to hear back about DLA.
I was thinking of applying for a part time distance learning foundation degree and wanted to know how/if this would affect my benefits?
Meant to add, i am due my first (and last!) baby in June and will be a lone parent over 21.
or if i somehow managed to save for each semester would this still affect my benefits?
I would love to apply for the course but wouldnt if it would leave me worse off

Studying part time won't affect your benefits at all and you will be eligible for a grant for your fees as you're on a low income.
I'm not sure what you're asking about saving for each semester.0
