How it works
Five steps to Switzerland
- Apply online
Start here, then upload your documents — school transcripts and proof of English. Not sure your certificates qualify? Send them anyway; admissions assesses equivalents individually.
- Answer in 72 hours
Admissions reviews your application and responds within three working days.
- Reserve your place
You receive a Letter of Acceptance; your deposit secures the place for your intake.
- Visa
BHMS issues the documents you need. Non-EU applicants should allow 8–12 weeks — under-18s also need notarized parental consent. See our visa guide.
- Start in Lucerne
Move into your shared campus accommodation — it is part of the one all-inclusive fee.
Entry requirements
- Minimum 17 years old
- 5 iGCSEs including Maths and English, or equivalent — didn't finish A-levels, IB or Grade 12? You can still qualify; admissions assesses equivalents individually
- English 5.0 / B2 or equivalent
The Certificate starts every February, May, August, November. Non-EU visa processing typically takes 8–12 weeks, so apply about three to four months before your chosen start — the visa guide covers under-18 specifics like parental consent.
