The Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics observes an open, quality-focused admissions policy based on the admissions regulations of UZH as well as its own regulations and practices. The information below gives you an indication of which categorization to expect.
Students from a university outside the European Union / EFTA are strongly encouraged to submit GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores, as with a good GRE score they generally place higher.
GRE scores can only be submitted as part of the application; scores that are submitted at a later point will not be considered. If you decide to submit a GRE score please use:
GRE: institution code 7136
We do not accept Score Reports from the GRE General Test at home.
Bachelor modules which are part of requirements and conditions are often held in German. At the Department of Informatics however it is possible to complete the exams in English.
However, for modules offered from other departments or faculties this does not apply. Especially the requirements and conditions for the Master’s program in Information Systems are mainly in German.
Holders of a Bachelor's degree from a Swiss university will be categorized into the Master's program in the same specialization as their Bachelor's degree without additional conditions (although additional requirements may apply).
The same requirements apply as for graduates of Swiss universities. The categorization is based on an evaluation of the curriculum of the program of studies completed. If the curriculum deviates in subject-specific areas, additional requirements or conditions (typically 30 - 60 ECTS credits) must be completed. Applicants may be categorized into the Bachelor's program.
If the curriculum deviates in subject-specific areas, additional requirements or conditions (typically 60 ECTS Credits) must be completed. If the subjects-specific deviations are comprehensive applicants are categorized into the Bachelor’s degree program.
The decision is based on an evaluation of the curriculum of the study program completed. The applicants are assigned to the Master's level with additional requirements of 30 - 60 ECTS credits.
Attention: Please note that graduates of a university of applied sciences must have earned an overall grade of 5 in a Bachelor's program in order to study at the Master's level at UZH.
Graduates with a minor degree in a specialization in informatics may apply for the Master's program majoring in the same specialization. Applicants are admitted with additional requirements of up to 60 ECTS credits.
An effort is also made to admit applicants with a university degree from other fields, provided they have sufficient basic knowledge in the areas of specialization.
