As a student you can have more than this, it's around ~6K pounds, which if you take into account a student loan plus some help from parents/savings, going over this limit is a reality. The key point here is AT ANY TIME so even if the amount is just passing though (i.e to pay for uni fees) you are in breach, which I just found out a few weeks ago, and the fines for not filing a FBAR are insane.
