István Tisza appointed him Minister of Education in 1903. Berzeviczy held this position until the Tisza Cabinet's fall.
When the Liberal Party, which controlled Hungary from 1875, collapsed, Berzeviczy joined to the newly forming National Club. For Berzeviczy's proposal, the party was renamed to Party of National Work. He was member of the House of Magnates from 1917 to 1918, and from 1927, when the upper house was reorganized.

He became a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1903, and was appointed president of the organization in 1905. From 1923 until his death he served as chairman of the Kisfaludy Society.
