so i am trying to get into German public universities but since I've got only 3 years of undergraduate degree i was thinking of working for a year to compensate, would that help? or should i just go for private universities instead?
also i have only 7.5 cgpa so i was thinking if it's acceptable and would working for a year increase my changes of admission
#Would working a year help me stand out for admissions to public german universities?

Hi! Not from Germany so I can’t give a definitive answer but as someone who’s done their research to attend grad school in general, I can tell you this- work experience helps! I graduated UG 4 years ago and instead of going straight into grad school, I wanted to take a year off to work and gain work experience. Unfortunately, after that, the pandemic hit and I kept delaying grad school. From my research, not going back to school immediately is not a red flag or anything as long as you spend the time off actually doing something (basically don’t take how many years off you decide to take bumming it out). I’ve been working for the last 4 years and now I think I’m financially ready to go back to school so I’ll be applying for next cycle. You can always talk about your time off working and your experience when writing your essays- explain why you decided to work for a year or so before going back to school. Hope this kind of helps! Maybe someone from Germany can give more insight though 🙂
