where they can engage in study
-donde estudian / donde realizan sus estudios


Explanation:
Or, if you prefer, you could use the future tense (if this is what you are using throughout the text).

1.

"Engage in study" hear simply means that the students will be studying, and NOT that they will be "participating in a study" (which sounds like they are subjects in an experiment of some kind).

2.

I don't see any need here to use "poder" in the Spanish here. "Can" here is really a stylistic flourish, and certainly does not have the meaning that students have the option *not* to study.

agree  JohnMcDove: Yo lo diría como indica Wilsonn, pero totalmente de acuerdo con las observaciones que aportas. :-)
13 mins
  -> Gracias, John. El problema con la sugerencia de Wilsonn es que el texto original no indica que se trate ni del "incio" de los estudios (puede ser la continuacion de estudios ya comenzados) ni del estudio de cualquier idioma.
