Yes, you can cope with a coding-focused Master's program, even with a Biotechnology background, if you prepare in advance.

Your strong academic record shows you can adapt and learn new subjects. However, success in a technical course will require foundational knowledge in programming, data structures, and algorithms. If you haven't studied these before, consider self-study or online preparatory courses before starting your degree.

Many German universities offer support for students transitioning from non-technical fields, such as preparatory classes or flexible curricula. Review your target program’s structure to understand its requirements and available resources.
