Re-entry Master
Anyone wishing to rematriculate in an ETH Zurich Master’s degree programme after leaving the university can - if certain prerequisites are met - register or apply for re-entry.
A re-entry into a Master’s degree programme is generally possible if you:
- have successfully completed your Bachelor's degree programme at ETH Zurich and afterwards left the university.
- have started and discontinued a Master's degree programme and have left ETH Zurich. Now you would like to continue with the same Master's degree programme or start a different Master's degree programme.
- have already successfully completed a Master's degree programme at ETH Zurich and now would like to start a second Master's degree programme.
The admission prerequisite when re-entering into a Master's degree programme is always the Bachelor's degree!

You may apply via the ETH Registrar’s Office directly if you satisfy all of the following prerequisites:
- You have an ETH Bachelor’s degree, and
- the degree is not older than 4 years at the time of registration, and
- you have not been excluded from the targeted degree programme.
- If you began the consecutive ETH Master’s degree programme and wish to continue it following an interruption, it must be possible to complete the degree within the remaining permitted duration of studies.
If you do not satisfy the prerequisites you must apply via the Admissions Office.
For non-consecutive or specialised Master's degree programmes, you must apply via the Admissions Office.
What is a consecutive Master's degree programme?
A consecutive Master's degree programme is a Master with the same field of study as the Bachelor's degree programme (e.g. Physics BSc > Physics MSc).
There are also consecutive Master's degree programmes with a different field of study than the Bachelor's degree programme (e.g. Mechanical Engineering BSc > Management, Technology and Economics MSc).
For those Master’s degree programmes it is defined in the annex of the relevant Master’s regulation, which Bachelor's degrees qualify for an admission without additional requirements (without application).
What are other Master's degree programmes?
Other Master's degree programmes are either non-consecutive or specialised Master's degree programmes.
A non-consecutive Master's degree programme is a Master with a different field of study than the Bachelor's degree programme (e.g. Physics BSc > Chemistry MSc).
Specialised Master's degree programmes have special admission prerequisites and the number of places is often limited.
An overview of the (non-)consecutive and specialised Master's degree programmes can be found on the website Range of degree programmes.
