Is it true that if I study in the same field in Germany, I can get a job faster compared to switching fields?

Yes, studying in the same field as your previous education in Germany can help you secure a job faster. Employers often prefer candidates whose academic background directly matches the job role, as this shows relevant expertise and reduces the need for extra training.

If you switch fields, you may need to demonstrate how your previous skills transfer to the new area, which could require additional qualifications and more time to secure employment.

Germany offers an 18-month post-study work visa (residence permit) for international graduates to find a job related to their degree. This is subject to change.
