In principle, the following applies: The regulations governing admission to study at the University of Zurich (RZS) are authoritative for admission. The subject of Political Science in the major subject is consecutive, i.e. the prerequisite for the Master's degree (120 or 90 ECTS) is a completed Bachelor's degree in Political Science (Political Science events of at least 60 ECTS). If you would like a detailed examination of your admission, please apply regularly for a Master at the UZH. More information can be obtained here. We will only provide information on a possible admission at our department if your dossier (including all documents) has been thoroughly examined by the UZH. It is possible that you will be subject to admission requirements, which means that you can, for example, complete some courses from the Bachelor's program parallel to your Master's.
In the case of applicants with a foreign education, two conditions must be fulfilled for a Master's degree at the University of Zurich:
a) The university where you completed your Bachelor's degree must be recognized and accredited in Switzerland.
b) Your Bachelor's degree must entitle you to a Master's degree at your home university.
For the clarification of these two points, you can apply directly to the admission office for foreign students. This office will then decide about your admission into the MA with major subject Political Science and on any conditions or restrictions.

Theoretically not. You can also apply for a different combination of subjects. However, you may be rejected in certain subjects due to a lack of prior education, or you might be subject to conditions and restrictions, e.g., that you have to complete additional courses.
In the small MA minor Political Science (15 ECTS) at least three credit points must be collected in the form of the Studium Generale. This is a module (at least 3 ECTS), which can be freely selected by the students from the entire university (UZH and language center). The Studium Generale plays no role for MA major (90/120 credits) and big MA minor (30 credits) in Political Science.
