If you have obtained a Bachelor’s Degree from an internationally recognized university, both in Malaysia or abroad, you are eligible to directly apply for a Master study in Germany. The chosen Master’s degree programme should be closely related to the Bachelor’s subject.

The majority of Master’s programmes offered in Germany take about two years (four semesters) but there are also programmes with shorter duration. Many Master courses are taught entirely in English. Some universities do not charge tuition fee. Several study programs require a minimum GPA or a good GMAT score. Please check at the admission office of your target university to see the most actual admission requirements and application procedures.
