Could you recommend what full-time students making online applications should say their "employment status" is? The options, as I'm sure you're aware (;)), are...

Employed
Self-employed
Home maker
Retired
Unemployed

If you opened the account in branch presumably you would still have to state what you do, right? Is there an option for student there, or if there isn't, how would you get around that? Especially if the student either didn't work or didn't earn very much.

I got accepted. Always worth a try

According to gov.uk I'm classified as a 'worker'.

Hooray! Always worth thinking outside the box a bit

Well done.

That's curious. I wonder why they don't allow this online and even state in bold that student's can't apply. Congratulations to Sensory regardless.

Whoever set up the web page probably had a bad day, or suffers from a student-phobia. As I commented before, there is nothing in the T&Cs [that I can see] that excludes students.
