It depends on the university, as admission criteria and GPA requirements vary across the UK, France, and Germany. With a Commerce Master's (grades 5.65/10 and 5.75/10) and 108 months of work experience, you may be eligible for select programs - especially where significant work experience is valued.

- UK: Some universities consider applicants with lower grades if they have strong work experience. Look for institutions that accept third-class degrees or equivalent, as your profile may fit.
- France: Many Master's programs require a minimum of 10/20. Your grades are slightly below this, but relevant work experience could help. Requirements differ by university.
- Germany: Most universities require a minimum of 2.5 (where 1.0 is best). Your grades may be below standard cut-offs, but some programs may consider your extensive work experience.
