My Undergraduate options will be:
3rd Year - Game Theory, financial mathematics, stochastic methods in finance,
Economics of Finance, Economics of Financial Markets, Econometrics for Macroeconomics and Finance
Microeconometrics, Behavioural Economics
2nd Year - Microeconomics, Quantitative Economics and Econometrics, French for Business and Current Affairs, Macroeconomic Theory and Policy, and Corporate Financial Strategy.
1st Year - Introductory Statistical Methods, Introduction to Mathematics for Economics II, Introduction to Mathematics for Economics, Algebra 1, Economics, Algebra 2 and Applied Economics.

I know no computing. I've been looking at VBA and C++ the last couple of day, I'm making progress, but it's seeming futile.

What are my options ?
are any of these a good idea for me ?
Or could I possibly get sponsorship in the U.K. ? (I have very little money)

from your list I'd pick EPFL Financial Engineering because of the quality of the school but also its name. I'm not saying the other schools are not great but I rare are people outside those countries who would know them (anybody correct me if i'm wrong)

ps: also the st gallen degree is more a msc in financial economics than financial engineering.
