Do all countries accept conversion courses for students from an engineering background, or only certain countries in Germany/Singapore for a Master's/Bachelor's?

It depends - acceptance of conversion courses (bridging programs for changing fields) varies by country and university.

- Germany: Conversion courses are rare. Most universities require your bachelor's degree to closely match your intended master's field.
- Singapore: Some pathways, like BTech programs and Bridging Units, exist mainly for diploma holders transitioning into engineering, not for those with an engineering bachelor's degree switching fields.

Availability and recognition of conversion courses are determined by each country's education system and individual university policies. If you want to switch fields, check with your target university’s admissions team or your LeapScholar counsellor to understand your specific options.
