Yes, you can still apply to Master's programs in Germany with a CGPA of 6.25 and 5 years of work experience. Many universities consider professional experience and motivation alongside academic records.
- Some universities and applied sciences institutions are known for flexible GPA requirements, especially if you have significant work experience.
- Strong supporting documents - such as a clear statement of purpose, updated CV, and strong recommendation letters - will strengthen your application.
- Meeting language proficiency requirements (like IELTS or TOEFL) is essential.
Applying to multiple universities improves your chances.
