Is Germany a good country for pharmacy studies and do I need to learn German for a MSc?

Yes, Germany is a strong choice for pharmacy studies, but language requirements depend on the program.

- German-taught programs: Most undergraduate and some Master’s courses require German proficiency (usually B2 level or higher). For example, the University of Regensburg asks for a DSH-3 certificate or equivalent.
- English-taught programs: Some Master’s options, like the MSc in Pharmaceutical Medicine at Hochschule Fresenius, are offered in English and require proof of English proficiency (such as IELTS or TOEFL).

With your pharmacy background and interest in a Master’s, you can consider English-taught programs, but basic German skills can help with daily life in Germany.
