Yes, your GPA of 7.4 in a four-year bachelor's degree is generally accepted for master's admissions in both Germany and the UK.

- Germany: This GPA is roughly equivalent to a German grade of 2.5, meeting the typical minimum for many universities.
- UK: Your GPA aligns with a 2:1 degree classification, which is commonly accepted for master's programs.

For visa purposes, the main requirement is an unconditional admission offer from a recognized university. Your GPA must be sufficient to secure this offer; after that, the visa process focuses on proof of admission, finances, and English proficiency.

If your GPA is borderline for a program, strong work experience, a compelling statement of purpose, and good IELTS scores (usually 6.5 or above) can strengthen your application.
