Public universities in Germany mainly look for a Bachelor's degree that is closely related to the Master's program you want to pursue. For example, if you're applying for a Master's in Computer Science, a background in Computer Science, IT, or a similar field is preferred.

STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), Business, and Economics are especially popular and well-supported, often offering more seats and resources.

For other areas like Humanities, Social Sciences, or Arts, universities focus on how relevant and strong your previous education is, along with your motivation for the program.

Overall, academic relevance and preparedness for your chosen Master's subject matter most. A strong match between your background and the program will improve your chances.
