I just finished my Master degree in the UK with average grades/pass/2.2. Also, on the diploma it says I have permission to further study a doctorate degree? I am not originally from the UK. I have always wanted to do a PHD. I was thinking about going to Germany because it is cheaper and I wanted to continue learning German ( I took German to fullfill requirements in the USA/BA of Arts). Is it possible of getting admitted to a PHD program in Germany with a 2.2 result? My bachelors degree is from the USA and a 3.0 . My course of study is in social science.

However, if I cannot get admitted into a German University, have other UK students with a 2.2 result got accepted to other universities in Europe?

Minus my average grades, I was very active in my univerisity (USA) and in the social science department. I also have a close relationship with professors at my univeristy (USA).
