Yes, you can apply for a master's in Bioinformatics or Biotechnology in Germany with your biotechnology background.
Most German universities require a relevant bachelor's degree, proof of English proficiency (typically IELTS 6.5 or equivalent), and sometimes specific subject knowledge in areas like molecular biology or biochemistry. Many programs are offered in English, and public universities usually have low or no tuition fees.
You will also need to complete the APS certificate process for Indian students as part of your application and visa process (subject to change).
