Is it feasible for me to pursue masters in France or Germany without knowing the local language for a Master's?
Yes, you can pursue a master's in France or Germany without knowing the local language if you apply to English-taught programs.
- Germany offers many English-taught master's degrees, especially in fields like computer science and engineering. You only need to show English proficiency (such as your IELTS score). - France also has English-taught master's programs, though fewer than Germany. English proficiency is needed, and French is not required for admission.
However, learning some German or French will make daily life and settling in much easier.
