University advice

Hi guys
So I’ve applied to ucas and I realised that I won’t be able to qualify for student loan since I have LLR and only been in the uk for 5 years and this means lll qualify as an international student. Some of the unis asked for fee assessment which I haven’t done cause I feel there’s no point of even waiting for any offers when I know I won’t be able to take loan and go to uni.
I applied for foundation year in chem engineering to Aston, Lancaster, Sheffield, Loughborough and Nottingham University.
Aston gave me an offer but in the email they said that if u qualify as a international student then they won’t give me the offer since it’s only for uk home students but I don’t even wanna go to Aston on the first place so it doesn’t even matter if they reject me anyways.
Knowing that I can’t go uni is making me really helpless and i don’t really what else I could do even though I know it’s too quick to come to conclusion but I don’t think there’s any hope left anymore.
Is there anyone that could guide me or provide any alternative pathways? I really wanna do engineering but now it seems like I can’t go university at all :frown:((

Look at degree apprenticeships, or aim to get ILR and then go do your degree at that time :smile:
