It depends, but cross-domain applications to German universities are possible if you show relevant work experience and clear motivation for switching fields.

- Your 24 months of work experience and strong academic record help demonstrate readiness for a new field.
- A well-written Statement of Purpose that explains your transition is crucial for admissions.
- For career prospects, Germany values interdisciplinary skills, but gaining domain-specific knowledge or internships during your master’s will improve your job opportunities.

To maximize your chances, clearly connect your background to your new field and pursue practical experience during your studies.
