Yes, you are eligible to study abroad, including in the UK, after a 15-year gap. Many universities accept applicants with significant study gaps if you can show how your professional experience has prepared you for further study.

- University requirements vary, so some may ask for additional coursework or a strong explanation of your gap.
- A strong Statement of Purpose and detailed CV highlighting your 15 years of work experience will be important.
- English proficiency tests like IELTS are typically required.
