Are letters of recommendation required for university applications in Germany for a Master's?

It depends. In Germany, whether you need Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for university applications varies by university and program.

- Some universities and competitive Master's programs require LORs, especially in fields like engineering, business, and computer science.
- Others may not require them at all.

For your Master's in Mechanical Engineering, check each university’s specific requirements. Even if not mandatory, a strong LOR can strengthen your application.
