It depends.

For master's applications in Germany and the UK, internship work experience is usually not mandatory - most programs focus on your academic qualifications. In Germany, many master's courses do not require prior work experience. In the UK, requirements vary by university and program; some offer internships as part of the degree, while MBAs and certain other programs may prefer formal work experience, with internships typically not counted as full-time work.

Given your LLB and LLM background with no work experience, you can still apply to many programs. For tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
