Unless I misunderstand the question I believe your "data subjectness"
relates to the
person (legal person) processing your personal data and/or where the
processing is taking place.
In the context of your question you would need to work out whether a person
is:
a) established in the UK and your personal data are processed in the
context
of that establishment; or
b) not established in the UK, or anywhere else in the EEA, but is
nonetheless processing personal data in the UK (other than being in transit
through the UK).
If so:
c) is it a data controller under the DPA?
In your scenario all the while the university is processing your personal
data as a data controller, you are a data subject and have rights under the
Act whether you are living in the UK, Barbados or Timbuktu (no pun
intended!) and regardless of your nationality.

Subject: [data-protection] Of where am I a data subject?
This is a naive question:
"I am a Barbadian citizen and my residential address is in Barbados. I
attend university in the UK and live there during term time. I sometimes
spend Christmas and Easter in the UK, too. My university keeps detailed
records about me in the same manner as it does for all students. Where is
my 'data subjectness'?"
An additional question (if I proved to be a Barbadian data subject) is
"What
are my rights, if any, under the UK DPA 1998?"
Now this may be naive, as questions go, but the answer(s) must be properly
defined somewhere
