Will starting a three-year course in 2026 cause any problems for my study abroad plans in Germany for a Bachelor's/Master's?

No, starting a three-year bachelor's course in 2026 should not cause problems for your plan to pursue a master's in Germany in September 2028.

German universities typically require you to have completed your bachelor's degree before starting a master's. If you finish your course by mid-2028, you'll meet this requirement for the Winter Semester 2028 intake.

Make sure to have your transcripts, recommendation letters, and language test results ready ahead of application deadlines, which usually fall between May and July for the October intake.
