Yes, switching from hospitality management to a master's in finance or data analytics abroad is possible, but you’ll need to meet specific program prerequisites.

Most universities look for a relevant academic background, coursework, or professional experience. For finance or data analytics programs in Germany, you may need:
- A bachelor's degree in a related field (economics, mathematics, computer science, etc.)
- Standardized test scores like GMAT, if specified
- Relevant work experience or certifications can strengthen your application if your degree is in hospitality

Admission requirements and eligibility vary by university and program. If your background is primarily in hospitality, consider gaining additional experience or certifications in finance or analytics.
