A Master’s Degree in Social Sciences & Psychology usually suits applicants who already have a first degree and want advanced study before work, further research, or a specialist role. One option is tied to a QS world rank of 91, while the other two are public choices without a published QS rank in the facts provided.

The options differ in a way that matters for decision-making: all three are public, and Zurich is the only city named. Tuition is published for one option at CHF 1,500 minimum, while fees are not provided for the other two, so those costs need direct confirmation with the university.

Before applying, verify the exact programme title, the full tuition amount, the teaching language, admission requirements, and any application deadline. Also confirm whether the degree is full-time or part-time, since those details are missing for these choices.
