Requirements & intakes

Our eight intakes throughout the year allow you to join at a time most convenient for you and provide additional internship opportunities. Each academic semester of six months is followed by six months of applied learning through an internship, either in Switzerland or internationally.

Multiple intakes throughout the year

BHMS offers multiple intakes throughout the year, allowing you to join at a time that suits your needs. Your visa application process can take up to 12 weeks, so be sure to factor this into your planning. Our Preparatory English Programme is offered at each intake should you need to improve your English skills prior to commencing your study programme.
