Thanks a lot for your answer.
The M.Sc (taught) from the UK is a one year M.Sc. program with 180 credits divided as follows,
- 120 credits: taught courses
- 60 credits: Research project
It is probably not equivalent, as a Master in Germany is a 2-year program. However, that does not mean that a potential supervisor is not willing to take you.
Maybe you'll have a hard time, as the average German student will probably have a lot more practical research experience (master thesis at least 6 months, often longer + other internships before that), which is usually highly valued by group leaders.
I would just give it a try. You have nothing to lose but time ;) Just search for PhD ads in your field or directly contact interesting groups. I would not be surprised if you find a position :)
