Starting Undergrad at 22 in Europe, too late for IB?

Just asking if you think they’ll be age discrimination and whether I should pick a different field. I’ll be 25 when I graduate. So 23 for SA recruiting, going to university late as I’ve been caring for my parent since 18 and she’s moved back home now.

You're fine bro. 25 is still young anyways. Many people have military duties (austria, singapore, etc.) before uni anyways which delays graduation by 1 - 2 years, and many firms hire masters students from continental europe or UK.
