Job Guarantee
PFH doesn't wave you goodbye at graduation. If you don't land a job within 9 months of finishing, you get 20% of your full tuition fees back. Here's exactly how it works — and what you need to qualify.
Your family isn't just funding a degree. They're funding an outcome.
Most Indian students take an education loan against a job that doesn't exist yet. The Job Guarantee puts PFH's own money behind the outcome you're betting on.
20% of tuition, back
If you haven't secured a job within 9 months of graduating, PFH refunds 20% of your full tuition fees — real money returned, not a discount or credit.
Built on a strong job market
PFH offers this because German employers are actively hiring management graduates. The guarantee exists as a backstop — not because outcomes are expected to be poor.
Plan for it from India
The single condition Indian students most often miss is the B2 German requirement. Start learning before you fly, and this guarantee stays within reach.
Talk to our experts →Eligibility requirements
To qualify for the 20% refund of full tuition fees, you must meet every one of these conditions. None of them is optional.
Finish within the regular study period
You must successfully complete your Master's within the standard duration of the programme. Extending your studies beyond the regular period makes you ineligible.
Achieve a minimum GPA of 2.5
You need a final grade of at least 2.5 on the German scale at graduation. German grading runs in reverse to the Indian system — 1.0 is the highest and 4.0 is the pass mark, so 2.5 sits in the middle band.
Prove B2 German language proficiency
You must submit a certificate showing B2 level German — even though your Master's is taught entirely in English. The requirement reflects what German employers actually need.
- Goethe-Zertifikat B2, telc Deutsch B2, TestDaF or ÖSD B2 are accepted.
- B2 typically takes 8–12 months of consistent study from zero.
- Starting German while still in India is the most practical route.
No job secured within 9 months
The refund applies if, nine months after graduating, you have not secured employment. If you find a job within that window — as most PFH graduates do — the guarantee simply doesn't come into play.
What the Job Guarantee is — and isn't
This is a financial guarantee, not a placement service. Knowing the difference before you apply matters.
What you get
- 20% refund of full tuition fees if no job within 9 months
- Career Service support with CVs, applications and interviews
- Access to PFH's employer and alumni network in Germany
- Applies across PFH's English-taught Master's programmes
What it is not
- Not a job placement — PFH does not place graduates into roles
- Not automatic — every eligibility condition must be met
- Not a full refund — the guarantee covers 20% of tuition
- Not valid without a B2 German certificate
From enrolment to refund, step by step
What the timeline actually looks like for an Indian student at PFH.
Study and learn German
Complete your Master's in English while building German alongside it, aiming for a B2 certificate before you graduate.
Graduate on time
Finish within the regular study period with a GPA of 2.5 or better, and hold your B2 certificate.
Search with Career Service
Use PFH's Career Service for applications, interview prep and employer introductions during your job search.
If no job in 9 months
Should you still be without a role nine months after graduating, PFH refunds 20% of your full tuition fees.
Job Guarantee — questions from Indian applicants
No, and it's important to be clear about this. Finding, applying for and securing a job is ultimately your responsibility. PFH's Career Service gives you real support — CV reviews, interview preparation, employer connections — but the guarantee is financial, not a placement promise.
Yes. A B2 German certificate is a hard requirement for the Job Guarantee, regardless of your programme being English-taught. It reflects what German employers expect. Plan to start learning German while you're still in India.
German grading runs opposite to India's — 1.0 is best, 4.0 is the pass mark. A 2.5 sits in the middle, so it requires consistent performance rather than exceptional results. Your counsellor can explain how your Indian percentage converts.
The English-taught Master's at Göttingen: MBA, MSc General Management, MSc UX Management & Design, and MSc AI Management in Computer Science for Business.
They cover different stages, so yes. The Zero Risk Policy protects you before you arrive, refunding your fees if your visa is rejected. The Job Guarantee applies after you graduate. Together they cover both ends of your journey.
