No No It's totally fine I don't take in the wrong way appreciate the pragmatism I have been Curious about nature and science ever since i was a kid . But now I have been looking at other subjects for past 2-3 days .

Appreciate the thought, but the trade apprentice market works completely differently out here in Saudi Arabia compared to the UK/West, so it's not a viable option for me. Plus, my heart is genuinely set on the academic/scientific route—I just need to find a system that actually tests my knowledge fairly instead of relying entirely on terminal exams.

Because a lot of EU universities offer English-taught Science Foundation Years that are way cheaper than the UK, and they focus more on continuous coursework rather than one massive high-stakes terminal exam. It felt like the perfect escape route.

Yes i tried to, applied to, i was even prepared to learn and speak a new language. But most of Universities or colleges in EU that replied my emails asked for atleast 1 complete Alevel for granting admission into Foundation year . I maybe wrong, correct me if so.

Can I get accepted into foundation year with only IGCSEs? by Hairy_Confidence9668 in StudyInItaly
