The answer

It is impermissible for a Muslim woman to travel without a mahram, whether the travel is within Islamic lands or to them. As for traveling to lands of disbelief and residing therein, it is impermissible except in cases of dire necessity and urgent need. If this necessity is not present, she should continue her studies in her own country.
