Yes, your work experience - including internships and research - is valid and strengthens your application for most Master's programs in Germany.

- Most programs: Do not require work experience, but it is valued.
- Business/MBA programs: Typically require 2 - 3 years of professional experience.
- Executive Master's: Often require 5+ years.
- Other fields: Internships and research are generally accepted as relevant experience.
