What is the priority order between country and university for my study abroad plan in Germany for a Master's?

Choose the country first, then the university.

Start by selecting the country that aligns with your career goals, lifestyle, budget, and post-study work options (like Germany, which you’re considering for your master's). The country’s education system, visa rules, and job market will shape your experience.

Once you’ve chosen the country, shortlist universities there that offer your preferred course, fit your budget, and match your profile.

If you need help shortlisting universities within your chosen country, your Leap counsellor can assist.
