Yes, you will typically need to submit a Statement of Purpose (SOP) and other documents when applying for a master's in both Germany and the UK.

Most universities in both countries require:
- SOP or personal statement outlining your academic goals and motivation
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
- CV (resume)
- Proof of English language proficiency (like IELTS/TOEFL), unless exempted
- Letters of recommendation
- Passport copy

Requirements can vary by university and program, so your counsellor can guide you on any additional documents needed for your specific choices.
