What is the nature of my own business and how does it affect my application in Germany for a Master's?

Your own business experience can strengthen your Master's application in Germany, especially if it relates to your field of study, such as Business Administration. Admissions committees value entrepreneurial experience because it shows initiative, leadership, and practical skills.

If your business aligns with your academic goals, it can make you a more competitive candidate. However, keep in mind that running a business in Germany while studying may require additional permissions beyond a standard student visa, as self-employment has specific regulations.

If you need guidance on how to present your business experience or understand visa requirements, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
