Will the months gap after my degree completion in 2027 be considered a gap that I need to justify in my application for a Master's?
Yes, you will need to explain any gap between your degree completion in 2027 and starting your master's in 2028.
Both German and Singaporean universities expect you to justify how you used this time. Productive activities - like internships, work experience, language courses, or skill development - are viewed positively if clearly documented in your application.
As long as you can show constructive use of your gap months, it should not negatively affect your chances. If you need help presenting your gap period effectively, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
