Can LeapScholar help me find Master's programs in Germany for the January 2027 intake that I might have missed in my current database or struggled to find on my own?

→

Yes, LeapScholar can help you search beyond your current shortlist, but Germany does not have a January intake. Its two semesters start in October (Winter) and April (Summer), so a start around January 2027 usually means applying for Summer Semester 2027, which has fewer programs than the October intake.

With a CGPA of 6.87, am I eligible for a Master's in Pharmacy in Germany, considering the typical requirement of around 65-66%?

→

Yes, a CGPA of 6.87 can make you eligible for some Germany Pharmacy master's programs, though it is not an automatic match for every 65 to 66% requirement. Universities convert your CGPA using their own formula rather than a simple 10 times multiplication, so eligibility needs checking programme by programme.
