## How to apply

Admission is based on your school diploma and English.

The standard admission route to Business & Hotel Management School (BHMS) for international students looks like this:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — hotel Management, business and culinary Arts — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. At international schools, in English.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, StudyU helps prepare visa or residence-permit documents for Switzerland; the consular or migration authority makes the decision.

After 11 years of school. Rarely directly: universities typically require 1-2 university years at home or the ECUS exam. Master programs accept diplomas directly.
