Yes, you can use experience letters or proof from previous employers to support your master's application in Germany. These documents help demonstrate your relevant work experience.

However, the importance of work experience varies by university and program. Some German institutions may not consider it during admissions. For example, the University of Freiburg does not include work experience in its selection process (subject to change).

If you need help determining whether your target program values work experience, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
