The answer

A woman is not permitted to travel a distance that allows for the shortening of prayers (qasr) without a , even if it is for study or with trustworthy female companions. If a mahram is not available, she must seek a place of study that does not require travel. However, once she is residing at the place of study, the presence of a mahram is not a condition, but the place must be safe for her religion, her person, and her honor.
