Yes, you can pursue a master's abroad in political science after a two-year gap and through distance learning.

- Most universities accept education gaps if you can show productive use of your time, such as internships, work, or relevant projects. - Your distance learning degree must be from a recognized, accredited institution - this is essential for eligibility. - Admission requirements vary, but you’ll typically need a strong statement of purpose, academic references, and a CV that explains your gap and highlights your achievements. - English language proficiency (like IELTS) may be required, though some universities offer waivers if your previous studies were in English.
