Yes, you can pursue a PhD in Germany after completing a Master's degree in Chemistry.

Most German universities require a Master's (or equivalent) in a related field for PhD admission. You will also need a supervisor from the university’s authorized examiners list. Many PhD programs in Chemistry are offered in English, so German language skills are not always required, though basic German can help with daily life.

Admission requirements vary by university and program. For specific details, your counsellor can guide you on the next steps.
