(Question for Europeans) I want to study neuroscience, but i don't how(more info below)

Hi, i'm from non-EU country in eastern Europe and i'm currently a first year CS student. I wanted to study medicine initially, but some things happened not long before i needed to start applying and i ended up not having the financial support to study 6+ years anymore. I hastily chose CS cause i didn't know what i wanted to do, but now i'm realizing that Neuroscience might be the field i want to get into. Unfortunately you can't study it in my country.

My question is: what should i do? Can i proceed with CS degree and try to get Masters in another country after graduation?(can i even be accepted with CS degree in Europe?) I know that it's possible in the US, but i haven't seen a European perspective on it. Any advice would be helpful.

Basically title.

Can't do medicine cause financial problems, unfortunately something happened not long before i needed to start applying for university. I'm not from America so we don't have these insane tuition fees, but still it's one of the most expensive ones in my country and i don't want to make my mom support me for 6 years since she doesn't earn a lot and i probably wouldn't be able to do part time with all the workload.

I have interest in art and all kinds of craftsmanship but it's obviously not very lucrative. I don't want to do nursing since it pays literal peanuts where i live and medicine interests me much more honestly. I have a sort of interest in chemistry but my country isn't the most developed and i'm afraid of bad working conditions + pays very little unfortunately.

I can't switch out of it to see if i like something else more, it just doesn't work this way in my country. The only way is to drop out and reapply but it would be pretty fucking stupid when i have no direction. I feel stuck in this mid ass degree and don't know if i'll even pass the exams since i haven't been studying much. (Some other reasons besides disinterest but i already yapped too much)
