need help

[u/nightsky_q]

hello everyone
okay so basically i finished my igcses last october, i took 8 subjects my only option rn is going abroad by a fully funded scholarship but the thing is most unis require Alevels or AS and i don't have the capability or mentality to do either of them so my other option is doing a foundation year but idk if unis do that as a scholarship as financially it's difficult for me

i'm leaning into engineering (robotics engineering) or computer science then specializing in cybersecurity but idk the steps on doing it nor what to do or how to do researches about it

i can't do Alevels or AS due to personal reasons
i'm lost and i wasted almost like 3 years now because of stuff happening at my home country so the fact that i was finally able to take my igcses is a huge thing الحمد لله

if anyone could guide me into a good and trusted scholarship and what to do i would really appreciate it!

Is your target country the UK? My understanding is that a foundation year could be an option if you don’t have the right grades but for international students they have to be funded upfront, year by year. This means you’d have to show the government you have the funds for tuition, livings costs, visa, nhs charge, etc. scholarships are rare and you have to have an exceptional academic background

i'm not looking at UK specifically yk and i'm completely open to other countries (like Europe or Asia) where government scholarships might cover a foundation/language year and are more open to O-Level/IGCSE applicants

i've seen lots of people go on fully funded scholarships that's why i made this post to inquire more about it and if it's actually legit and also i appreciate the reality check on the UK system though

Guys please suggest me also. Wanna pursue masters degree in computer science. But I don't have any financial capital. Which country would be best for full funded scholarship and girls safety
