Hello, this crisis has given me a new perspective. I was a Physics and Math undergrad in 1996 when i left uni to work as a C programmer. A mistake i have regretted often, but i had small kids and a wife that needed to eat.

I have since earned a BA in Economics and am writing a masters thesis in Cyber Security. However after a 24 year career in IT i really do not need to work anymore and have enough money to survive without work income. I would like to go back to university and study Astronomy or Physics.

After doing all the math I can comfortable consume 2000 usd a month from my savings and commit about 20k to the cost of study. So i am looking for universities that have Astronomy or Physics programs in English, preferably in Europe, or Asia, where i can live on 2k usd per month and tuition for the full Bachelor's degree is less than 20k USD.

The school would also have to accept non traditional students as I am closing in on 50 as i write this. I would appreciate suggestions, there are so many false leads in a google search that i have given up on that method of discovery, and many of the google-able programs do not respond to email inquiries.

This is the third time you've asked this question over the last couple of years. Clearly something about our answers is unsatisfying. Can you explain what? Otherwise we will likely provide similar answers to the one's you already received.
