Full time study means not unemployed, so only student benefits.
However there can be exceptions. If your study gives you a good chance for a job you might retain (part of) your benefit. But it is a case by case decision by TE keskus.
If you voluntarily leave your job for a study I don't think TE keskus would be generous.
