Stimmen von Studierenden
-
The STP program offered me exactly what I was seeking for: Complementing my knowledge from a natural science bachelor’s degree with diligent policy analysis skills. The program taught me the fundamentals to understand complex, interdisciplinary, and often multinational problems while the case studies allowed me to directly apply this knowledge, to identify solutions, and to put these directly to the test.
Andreas Eckmann, Swiss Federal Office of Energy
-
The small class size and the excellent student-to-teacher ratio enabled a cooperative and well-adjusted learning environment. The MSc STP programme helped me better understand the needs and considerations of regulators and gave me the language to communicate more effectively with them.
Helene Wiesinger, PhD Candidate at ETH Zürich -
I loved the intimate atmosphere and collaborative spirit at the ISTP. The interdisciplinary curriculum and the interesting case studies were a great preparation for my current job with the Swiss Parliament.
Fabian Dalbert, Swiss Parliament
Career Perspectives
Students will acquire skills to systematically analyse societal challenges at the interface of science, technology, and policy, develop & assess policy options for addressing such challenges, and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of policies that are being implemented.
This combination of science, engineering, and policy analysis skills is in high demand, particularly in governmental agencies, technology & life science firms, industry, consulting firms, IOs, NGOs, and academia.

The MSc ETH STP Programme
ETH Zurich’s Institute of Science, Technology and Policy (ISTP) offers an interdisciplinary specialised Master’s (MSc) Programme (120 ECTS) to enable students who have already completed a degree in science and engineering to acquire policy analysis skills while deepening their knowledge of science and engineering at the Master’s level. This full-time programme is taught in English by internationally known faculty and experts.
Admissions
The entry requirement is a BSc degree with a minimum of 180 ECTS in science or engineering (including mathematics and architecture). The MSc STP curriculum focuses on developing policy analysis skills (25%), advancing science and engineering skills in one of five possible areas (25%), case study seminars and elective courses (25%), as well as a Master’s thesis. Five minors' selection provides students with knowledge beyond the foundations in their Bachelor’s degree programme to deepen subject knowledge and methodology in the specialist area. The Master’s thesis should combine science, engineering, and policy analysis skills to study specific societal challenges.
The Master’s programme in Science, Technology and Policy starts every year in the autumn term (mid-September). The ETH Admissions Office offers full details regarding the application procedure and current information about the application deadline.
