Germany is the epicenter not only of engineering and technology, but also of Europe's financial and legal norms. As of 2026, the "hybrid competencies" demanded by the business world — that is, managerial skills added on top of technical knowledge, or a global legal vision that goes beyond local law — have made Germany a center of attraction for MBA and LLM candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can an MBA be done without knowing German?+
Yes, almost all prestigious MBA programs in Germany are offered 100% in English. However, for C-Level positions after graduation, B2/C1 German is our strongest recommendation as Toedur.
Can I practice law in Germany after doing an LLM?+
An LLM gives you an academic title. To hold the title of "Rechtsanwalt" in Germany, you must pass the Staatsexamen. However, LLM graduates can work as "Legal Counsel" in international companies with very high salaries.
MBA and LLM are just two of the master's options in Germany. We covered the wider picture — consecutive and professional master's types, applications and scholarships — in our guide to a master's in Germany.
