Before determining whether you can claim split year treatment you need to satisfy the UK resident test.

From the information given it looks like you may not be UK resident for 2014/15. However I would strongly recommend you take advice from a professional.

Non-residence for 2014-15 is extremely unlikely under any of the three automatic overseas tests.

Highly likely split year treatment will apply under Case 1 "starting to work full time overseas".

Not enough information.
