No, a 45 - 55% in your undergraduate degree is generally not sufficient for admission to most German public universities for master's programs. Most require at least 60 - 65% as a minimum.

Some Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen) may consider applicants with lower percentages, especially if you have strong language skills, relevant work experience, or an exceptional statement of purpose. However, admission at this percentage remains challenging.

If your percentage is below 60%, focus on strengthening other parts of your profile. For personalized guidance and to identify universities that might consider your application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
