What is the role of GMAT and GRE exams in my application process, and are they mandatory for all courses in Germany for a Master's/MBA?

It depends on your chosen program and university. GMAT and GRE are not mandatory for all master's courses in Germany.
- GMAT is mainly required for business-related programs, such as MBA or management degrees.
- GRE is relevant for some STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), arts, and other non-business master's programs.
- Most public universities in Germany do not require GMAT or GRE scores for admission. They usually focus on your academic transcripts, language proficiency, and relevant experience.
Check the specific requirements of your target program.
