Finances as a EU student

Hello, everyone. My name is Thais, I'm Brazilian and I'm currently waiting for my Portuguese citizenship to be approved.
I would like to do my bachelor in History abroad, but unfortunately I can't count with my parent's financial support, only myself.
My dream country was England, but since brexit happened, I don't see as a possibility in terms of tuition and work permit. Three countries I thought about was Germany, Sweden and Denmark, for being able to work full-time if needed and because is low or 0 tuition fee.
Which one would be the best option in terms of student loan, finding a job, conciliate work and studies?
My main worry is everything related to finances.
Thank you.

If you have secured admission in a university, you'll be able to apply a visa for studies.

If you want to specifically know about foreign students coming to Sweden during covid times, yes some foreign students have arrived in Sweden. But there are limitations with living and settling down in university as there is limited support and personnel. Another thing that has happened is that all the universities have received an unusually high number of applications this year.
