Freemover

A nomination is not necessary for these students, i.e. the decision on the acceptance of the application is made on the basis of the submitted documents (via online application tool).

Swiss-European Mobility Programme

Student exchanges with our European partner universities are supported within the ‘Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP)’ (see Movetia website). Incoming students receive SEMP grants for their exchange semester (subject to sufficient funding). Grants are processed via the Mobility-Online tool. No additional registration is required.

Introductory weeks

At the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Introductory weeks are held two weeks before the start of each semester.

 

Buddy Programme / Student Life

Exchange students can register for the Buddy Programme organised by ESN Lucerne. Incoming Exchange students have the opportunity to get in touch with local students before and during their stay and benefit from useful tips on student life at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

 

Visa and residence permit

Students from countries requiring a visa must apply for a study visa (type D) at the Swiss embassy in their home country at least three months before entering Switzerland. For further information see: Visa and residence permit for students.

 

Housing

In Lucerne, affordable rooms and flats are in high demand. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers accommodation for students. Exchange students can register for accommodation via the Mobility-Online tool after a positive admission decision.
