Child benefit and full time student - child abroad

Hello
Posted this in the Student forum, but was advised that there were some knowledgeable people in here.
Myself and my wife whilst living outside the EU ( from Jan 2011 to Apr 2012) had our first child in November 2011. Since Apr 2012 we have been living in Spain.
In three weeks I will be returning to the UK to undertake a PGCE. ( I was born and lived in the UK all my life until last January. My wife is also a UK citizen.)
We are not in receipt of child benefit either in Spain or from the UK.
I intend to apply for Child Benefit when I am back in the UK
My wife will remain in Spain with our daughter, living with my parents whilst I get qualified in the UK.
Will I be able to claim for child benefit as a full time student with my wife and child living abroad?
Thank you for any help.
