Yes, you can apply for an education loan even if you start a job this month.

In Germany, education loans like the Bildungskredit and the KfW Student Loan are available regardless of your employment status or recent income. These loans are designed to support students in advanced stages of their education and do not require parental or spousal income details.

Lenders may ask for proof of income, such as salary slips or your employment contract, since you are newly employed.
