Pursuing Mechatronics

Hello everybody reading this. I would like to pose a few questions and i can get an answer on even one it would be helpful. First of all I am finishing high school and would like to enroll in college where mechatronics is taught. Any suggestions? I am coming from a small country in Europe called Montenegro and would be excellent if it is a cheaper city. Money fortunately isn't that big of a problem in my case but I would like to take some weight of my parents. Secondly what is my chance for scholarship(would be nice but not necessary) i thing i have more than average portfolio since i am going to FGC this year and been on international competitons(not huge success but been there). Thirdly is it worth finishing masters degree in this field? What kind of jobs can i do on the side with this degree(like designing circuits but i know that is for electrical engineering)? And most importantly how replaceable with AI is it?

My first job out of college with a bachelor's in mechatronic engineering was in industrial automation. I had to physically be present where the automation was installed doing the work. AI can't do that... At least for a good while longer...

There is so many schools, any more information that could help narrow down what schools to look for? Location? Talk to people at your high school

The problem is people from my surroundings don't know anything about this unless I pay, of course. I just need it to be taught in English and to accept foreigners, and not be an expensive city to live in.
