It depends. If neither of your parents was a British citizen or legal permament immigrant, then you have no claim on British citizenship either, and no right to live or study there.
Here is one of the FAQs from the Home Office itself:
6. Will a child who is born in the United Kingdom from 1 January 1983 be able to become a British citizen if neither parent is a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom when the child is born?
Yes.
(a) If one of the parents becomes a British citizen or becomes settled in the United Kingdom, the child will be entitled to registration as a British citizen but must apply before the age of 18.
(b) If the child lives in the United Kingdom for the first 10 years of his or her life, and is not absent more than 90 days in any one of those years, he or she will be entitled to registration as a British citizen. There is no time limit for applying.

I I believe you should have the right to study there since your are a citizen by birth.
You can get a passport so you should be able to study there too.
I know if you have parent or grandparents that were born in Britain or Ireland you can get a passport from that country (well if you're from Canada for sure) so if you were born there you should be able to too
ps Durham is beautiful hope you get to see it again

if you have a birth certificate, u wont be refused a passport. i know because a south african friend of mine who grew up in south africa, but was born here and lived here for a brief few months (both his parents were south african) but at that time the law was such that any child born here is a citizen here. i believe the laws have changed since those days. the question is, which i cant help u with, when the laws changed. if u go to the citizens advice bureau they will be able to best advise u. i know my friend who is a citizen here (despite having been raised in south africa) is about your age...perhaps slighltly older by a few years.

come over I've still got some money left for tax's so hopefully i can pay for you to study.
But seriously you have stated that you are Algerian so why should you have a right to education in our country regardless of where you where born as you have not contributed in any way

But are you sure you want to live in a country where honor killings, arranged marriages, and the preaching of hate are illegal?

Where are you now, did you attend school here, if not then I'm afraid it is probably bad news and no, sorry, but I may be wrong, check with the embassy. Good luck

Then you have British birth rights... but your nationality will depend on your parents visa status... if they were here legally then you DO have British nationality...
