Yes, after completing one year of study and an internship in Germany, you can attend interviews and join a company if selected.

As an international student, you are allowed to work up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year (about 20 hours/week during semesters). Internships count toward this limit. To work beyond this, you need approval from local immigration authorities.

After your studies, you can apply for an 18-month residence permit to seek jobs related to your degree, with no work restrictions during this period.

Will you actually get a job after your German master's?
