Postgraduate education in Germany is provided in two different languages. These languages are German and English. However, a 95% quota is provided for German students in master's education programs offered in English.
For this reason, your undergraduate average must be high in order to be in the 5% segment. The higher your average, the higher your chances of being accepted into the program.
The duration of the master's education in Germany varies between 1.5 and 2 years. However, the duration of the programs preferred by law graduate students is 1 year.
