After submitting the form, your Admissions Advisor will contact you and guide you through the remaining application process, including the submission and verification of the required documents

  • If you are eligible to enrol in one of our programmes, we will issue you a letter of acceptance (LOA). 
  • Pay your application fee and deposit within 10 days of receiving your letter of acceptance. Some programmes require an additional security deposit. 
  • You will receive a receipt and confirmation of enrolment as soon as we have received the initial payment. 

  • Prepare the documents required by the Swiss Embassy in your country. The process of applying for and receiving a visa can take up to 12 weeks. Please consider this when deciding when you would like to start your studies. 
  • Once your visa is confirmed, pay the balance of your fees for the first year of your studies. This must be paid after BHMS presents proof of your visa confirmation but no later than four weeks before the term starts. 

  • Upon receiving full payment, BHMS will issue an NOC (No Open Cost) letter and send it directly to the Swiss Embassy in your hometown so you may receive your visa stamp. 
  • After that, you may book your flight ticket to Zurich Airport, where we will be waiting to transfer you to your new home in Lucerne.  
  • Download our Welcome Guide to prepare for your stay.
