Yes, you can pursue research roles without a PhD in both the UK and Germany. With a Master's degree, you are eligible for positions such as Research Assistant or Research Associate at universities and research institutes.

- UK: Master's graduates can apply for research roles and internships, gaining hands-on experience in ongoing projects.
- Germany: Opportunities include research internships and entry-level positions at institutes, often open to those with a Master's in a relevant field.

These roles help you build research skills and experience, even if you do not hold a PhD. If you need help finding suitable research opportunities, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
