Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 136/136=L/1429)

It is wajib to keep beard to one fist length and it is haram and major sin to shave beard; therefore as per the Shariah, it is not allowed for the education mentioned above. For getting education, you should choose a university where you are free to keep beard.
