All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

If your husband is as you mentioned in the question, then he is not having good marital relationship with you and he is contravening the Order of Allaah Who Says (what means): {And live with them in kindness.}[Quran 4:19], and he is contravening the saying of the Prophet : "Treat women kindly as they are like captives in your hands.” What is even worse than this is that you mentioned that he does not perform the prayer; by this he is committing one of the grave major sins, and some scholars are of the view that if a person deliberately abandons one single prayer, he goes out of the fold of Islam; for more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 85264.

Therefore, we first advise you to be patient with your husband and earnestly supplicate Allaah to guide him, and admonish him in a good and soft manner. It is also permissible to seek the help of some righteous people in this regard if necessary. Then, if he rectifies his relationship with you and with Allaah, then praise be to Allaah, however, if he continues on his misguidance and continues to be unjust to you, then you have the right to ask for divorce especially if he persists to abandon the prayer because there is no good for you in staying married with a husband who does not pray. If he accepts and divorces you, then this is what is required, otherwise you should take the matter to one of the Islamic centres in your area. For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 89039.

As regards your studies, you should look for a means to continue studying in your country near your family.

Allaah Knows best.
