Yes, you can get a German study visa without having prior work experience.

The main requirements are:
- Admission letter from a recognized German university
- Proof of funds (typically at least €11,904/year in a blocked account, subject to change)
- Valid health insurance
- Language proficiency in the program’s language of instruction

Work experience is not mandatory for a student visa, though it can strengthen your application for some courses or scholarships. Your academic background and two years of experience are an added advantage but not a requirement for the visa itself.
