UK

Yes, you can study very well!
The UK is the most flexible education system in the world - gaps are never a problem in the UK if justified rightly. I have been recruiting and dealing with international students across the world for UK universities and I have placed with people 15 years of gap and even more. Very recently, a woman with 52 years of age has got a visa for M.Sc. Clinical psychology at Plymouth University, UK. However, this can be a problem if you wish to apply for Australia, Canada, and the USA but the UK doesn't SEE the gap as a set back on your profile. To justify the gaps, you need to give a proper explanation in your SOP (Statement of Purpose) on what could have been a possible reason for the gap - if you were working, make sure you have proper documents for the same. Also, if you idle then make sure you give a proper reason for being idle - maybe you were not medically fit or preparing for government exams or maybe you were on maternity leave or maybe you were doing an startup that failed. Anything and everything is fare as long as its justified with right explaination - once you get an admit with the university then you are done. The ECO (Entrance Clearance Officer) is not bother about the gaps if you got an admit.
