Schengen Visa and International Students

The purpose of submitting bank statements with your visa application is threefold:

  1. Demonstrate that you can support yourself
  2. Demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country - a fixed constant income every months shows you receive a salary of some sort, hence you have a job
  3. Demonstrate that you lead a financially healthy lifestyle

With this in mind, you should provide the statements of the accounts which best help you represent your case. Keep in mind that you must be able to explain the provenance of the funds, and the reason behind the transactions.

can I use my non-UK bank account, which is denominated not in Euros,Dollar or Pounds?

Yes you can. The bank account does not have to be in the currency of the destination country. The important thing is to keep in mind exchange rates and cost of living. There are plenty of examples questions on this site in which applicants get rejected because they do not meet criterion 1: supporting oneself. If the bank account statement shows a monthly income which is too low compared to the average monthly cost of living in the destination country, then it is likely that the application will be rejected.
