Candidates for the Double Degree Master's program must be nominated by their home faculty. The nomination process is governed by the requirements of your home faculty.
Nominations must be notified to the Student Center by the subject coordinators at your home faculty.
Candidates for the Double Degree Master's Programs must matriculate (enroll) at the University of Zurich in order to participate in the program:
Application and Admission
Online Application and Admission
Nominated students will receive information on which documents they need to submit from the coordinators at the Faculty of Law UZH. Kindly do not start the application until you have received instructions from the coordinators.
The program offered by the Faculty of Law at the University of Zurich starts in fall semester only. The application deadline at the University of Zurich for fall semester ends on 30 April of each year.
The enrollment will be done automatically. We ask you to check your enrollment during the enrollment period from 15 to 30 November in the Student Portal. In the Student Portal, you can also request a change of your study program or withdrawal from the University.
An unsuccessful performance is considered a fail.
The compulsory module Introduction to Swiss Law, which must be completed in the study program International and Comparative Law by students with a Bachelor of Law degree from a non-Swiss university, may be repeated twice. A third failed attempt will result in a final rejection.
For the other modules, a joint maximum of eight failed attempts applies. Until the maximum number of failed attempts is reached, the core elective and elective modules can be repeated, provided that the modules are offered again or substituted with other modules. When substituting modules, care must be taken to ensure that sufficient modules of the respective module group (core elective modules Fundamentals, core elective modules International Law and core elective modules Comparative Law) are completed. If further compulsory modules (in addition to the Master's thesis) are chosen in the study program Rechtswissenschaft, they can be repeated a maximum of two times, otherwise the repeatability is only limited by the maximum number of failed attempts. A final rejection takes place if there are more than eight failed attempts.
Students in the Double Degree Program must apply for their graduation in the semester in which they wish to complete their degree program as soon as all the grades of the booked modules (including the credit transfer) appear in the system.
