Is there any assurance of getting a job after completing masters from Italy or Germany for a Master's?
No, there is no guarantee of getting a job after completing a master's in Italy or Germany. However, both countries offer favorable conditions for international graduates.
- Germany: High demand for skilled workers, especially in IT, engineering, and healthcare. International graduates can apply for an 18-month post-study work visa (job-seeking residence permit), and may be eligible for the EU Blue Card for long-term employment.
- Italy: The job market for graduates is growing, with a 74.5% employment rate for university graduates (age 25 - 34) in 2024. Graduates can apply for a 12-month post-study work permit and may also qualify for the EU Blue Card.
Your chances improve if you have in-demand skills, start your job search early, and have strong local language skills (German or Italian). For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
