Applying for JSA after withdrawing from education.

I graduated from University and started signing on in July. I was sure I would get a job quite quickly but it wasn't to be and by the end of September I decided the best course of action was to return to Uni to do a post graduate course. I signed off the dole. The fees were covered by student finance but there was no loan for living expenses and I have been living off of a miniscule amount of savings and my parents' kindness.
Anyway, the course hasn't worked out, I didn't manage to get a part time job to support the study and in hindsight I think I panicked about being on the dole when I jumped in to it. I'm going to withdraw.
My question is, can I sign back on? Much as I really don't want to, I've had no income for the past 4 months at all and at this point in time I have more or less no money to my name whatsoever. I am applying for jobs like crazy.
Any advice? Thanks.
