You need to apply for a certificate of approval first. Your student visa will not be affected. If you're over 21, you can then switch to FLR(M).
I tell it like it is.

after you apply for FLR(M) you can stay in the country for two years. 28 days before the flr(m) expires you can apply for probationary citizenship if your relationship is still ongoing and you have lived together during the full duration of FLR(M).
I tell it like it is.

I don't think this is correct. OP's gf is an EEA citizen so the correct leave is a residence card as a family member of an EEA citizen, after marriage of course.
So the OP's gf must have been exercising a treaty right, by working or studying, and if working should have been registered under WRS for the first year.
Can be applied for in-country and is free.

Is your girl-friend Polish or Hungarian ?

If
Polish girlfriend had acquired
Permanent residence, then, after
marriage,
switching to FLR(M) is
also possible.

But in another post the OP said his gf is Hungarian, so he's either dim, forgetful, multi-girlfriended or jerking our collective chain....
