Is GMAT and 3-5 years of managerial work experience mandatory for admission to public universities in Germany for a Master's/Bachelor's?
14 Aug 2026 · Answered by Disha Roy Choudhury · 1 min read
No, GMAT scores and 3-5 years of managerial work experience are not mandatory for most public universities in Germany.
These requirements usually apply only to non-consecutive Master's programs like MBAs or specialized management courses. For consecutive Master's programs - those directly following your Bachelor's field - public universities mainly consider your academic qualifications and language proficiency. Standardized tests like the GMAT or GRE are generally not required.
Some competitive or specialized programs may ask for GMAT or GRE scores, but this is not the norm.
