No. The British Nationality Act 1981 states that annyoe born in the UK after 1 January 1983 is only a British citizen if at least one of their parents is a British citizen or has legal permanent residence in the UK. A student visa is not permanent residence. Therefore she is not a British citizen, and only British citizens can have a British passport. If she applied for a British passport, she would have to send not only her full birth certificate but also the full birth certificate of a British-born parent or other proof that she has a parent who is British or has permanent residence, which she can't so the application would be refused.Before 1983 she would have been British under the previous law, annyoe born on British soil was British. The law was changed to stop people coming to the UK while pregnant, having a baby and then claiming to be able to stay because their baby is British. (They call this anchor babies in the USA I cannot understand why they don't change the law in the same way as the UK did if they have a problem with it.)Having an English birth certificate shows nothing more than that your girlfriend was born in England. Simple as that.
