Admission to the Master Programme

Master's degree programmes are built on the knowledge and abilities that were acquired when obtaining a Bachelor's degree. The general admission requirements are as follows:

  • Holders of a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Media Research

    Holders of a Bachelor's degree awarded from a Swiss university can be admitted to a Master's degree programme within the corresponding discipline (requires the acquisition of minimum 60 ECTS credits at Bachelor level in the corresponding discipline) without any additional requirements. The same applies to holders of a Bachelor's degree awarded by a foreign university, provided that the Bachelor's degree is recognised and considered equivalent by the University of Fribourg. According to existing agreements, holders of a Bachelor's degree in the field of communication awarded from a Swiss university of applied sciences can be admitted to the Master in Communication and Media Research with additional requirements.

  • Holders of a Bachelor's degree in another discipline

    Holders of a Bachelor's degree awarded from a Swiss university or holders of a Bachelor's degree awarded by a foreign university, provided that the Bachelor's degree is recognised and considered equivalent by the University of Fribourg, can be admitted to a Master's degree programme within another discipline with prerequisites (must be successfully completed before starting the Master's degree programme) or additional requirements (can be completed during the Master's degree programme).
