Is my internship considered as work experience for admission purposes in Germany/UAE for a Master's?

Yes, internships are generally considered valid work experience for master's admissions in both Germany and the UAE, especially if they are closely related to your chosen field.

However, recognition of internships can vary by university and program. Some programs - such as MBAs - may require full-time post-graduation work experience, where internships alone might not be enough.

To strengthen your application, clearly highlight your internship roles, responsibilities, and achievements.
