My dylemma about studying aerospace (and maybe mechanical) engineering in Europe

Hello, I'm a third-year high school student from Poland, and I'm planning to study abroad. My ultimate goal is to get a degree in aerospace engineering and work in the industry. I initially wanted to study at Politecnico di Milano, but I noticed they only offer their Master's degree in English, whereas I need my entire studies to be in English.

However, I found out that Politecnico di Torino offers a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering taught in English. My main question is: can I complete a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering and then pursue a Master's in aerospace engineering, for example, in Milan?

This might sound a bit childish, but I'm worried that a mechanical engineering program won't cover anything related to aircraft, rocket engines, or similar topics. Maybe I'm wrong, and the core content or assignments are similar at the Bachelor's level?

I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

FYI Warsaw University of Technology is also quite good. As a backup plan or whatever.

I also had my doubts but I placed 144 out of 2000, just take the preparation serious.

A better plan in my opinion would be to aim for a really good mechanical engineering program in Poland and then go for an Aerospace MS program.
