Hello ~ I am from Brunei. I am making this thread because I needed opinions from other people considering my situation.
My Situation Currently :
Well basically right now I am going through my last year of A-levels in my country, Brunei. Currently, taking: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and English A Levels. So basically I wanted to pursue two possible careers that I am currently aiming for. It is 'Aeronautical Engineering' or 'Biomedical Engineering'. These two careers are my current interest in for the last few years. Last year, I got to learn 'F1inSchools' and learning about the whole thing about Aerodynamics. It quite piqued my interest more on the subject which currently drives my will.
Alast...my country, Brunei. The current universities doesn't have the majors: 'Aeronautics' or 'BiomedEng'.
It deleted my options quite a bit. Then when I thought of going to get a scholarship but unfortunately, my country have a limited amount of people they would send on a scholarship. Basically, around 30 nowadays. Then that limited my options a bit more. When I got to know MEXT, maybe I could try to get the scholarship. There are things I am kind of confused like Aeronautics or you know is not listed in the majors in the Undergraduate Guidelines. Is there any way for me to take other majors that is out of that list? I tried to ask the Embassy in my country but have not received a reply since last week.
Next, considering Aeronautics and basically the whole thing on Engineering. Some of you may say I should take it in the UK or the US or maybe basically the top engineering country 'Germany'. I want to but like I said Government Scholarships are limited to 30. So if I don't get that, I might just try to at least get MEXT as an add-on option for me to study. Actually I did ask one Japanese having the username 'Lynx' in a social network on where should I take Aeronautics. He actually said that he does not recommend me to go to Japan to study Aeronautics, that discouraged me a bit but I am still taking on the possibilities. I like challenges anyways.
So far, universities that had Aeronautics are like Tokyo, Kyoto , etc. Not many options to be honest. If I would take Aerospace as my major, then its quite hard because Brunei is seriously weird. They don't need Aerospace Engineers but needs Aeronautical Engineers. There are so many Aerospace Degree Holders in Brunei that are either jobless or just have to cope with other jobs like carwash. Seriously I met lots of PhD holders working in carwashes just because the government won't take them. Quite a harsh reality isn't it? Yeah I know haha.
Extra : I guess like if I cant take the major I wanted to do in, that is quite a letdown. My father quite supports me to do engineering even though he kind of wants me to take that medical degree but I am not taking it.
I hope anyone in this forum would be to at least give me their opinion on this as I am currently in a pinch of time but if you cant, that is alright.Thank you even if you cant help me. If I am missing any information on myself or my country, just tell me okay
