Can I switch my career from tech to finance for my master's abroad in UK/Germany?
Yes, you can switch from a tech background to finance for your master's abroad. Many universities in Germany and the UK offer finance-related master's programs designed for students with degrees in computer science or engineering.
Your strong quantitative and analytical skills are a major advantage for fields like FinTech and quantitative finance. Some programs may ask for relevant work experience or specific prerequisites, but many accept applicants from diverse academic backgrounds.
Given your four-year tech degree and work experience, you are well-positioned to apply.
