Universal credit - part time student

Hi
I am in my '50's and live at home with my wife and disabled son. I work part-time 20 hours per week self-employed running my own business and 20 hours per week as a student (part-time research degree).
I have been self-employed for several years and have a business bank account and UTR with HMRC.
Will we be eligible as a family to claim Universal Credit or will there be issues regarding my self employment hours and part-time studying?
