International students arriving at the BHMS campus in Lucerne

BHMS · Lucerne, Switzerland

Start your application

Five steps from here to your first semester in Lucerne — and your first paid placement six months after that.

How it works

Five steps to Lucerne

  1. Apply online

    Start here — two minutes to begin. Admissions then emails you the application form and the short list of documents to send back.

  2. Hear back from admissions

    Your application is reviewed and you receive a decision or a request for anything missing.

  3. Reserve your place

    You receive a Letter of Acceptance; a deposit secures the place. Confirm the current deadline with admissions.

  4. Visa

    BHMS provides visa and administrative support. Allow 8–12 weeks for non-EU processing and 4–6 weeks for EU — so apply about four months before your intake.

  5. Fly

    Your first airport pickup is included in the fee. Lucerne is about an hour from Zurich Airport.

Next intakes

Bachelor intakes. The Postgraduate Diploma also has a May 2027 intake, and third-year transfer entry is available at the February, August and November intakes only. Because Swiss student visas take 8–12 weeks for non-EU citizens, apply about four months before your chosen date.
