How to Apply
Applications to study at HIM may be made using our online application form.
Step 1: Application
Complete the enrollment form and submit it together with the following documents
- Transcripts of your previous education
- Motivation letter
- TOEFL, IELTS, Oxford Online Placement test or equivalent English test results
- Curriculum Vitae (Resume)
- Work Reference Letters (if available)
- Copy of valid passport
- 4 passport size photos
Note: All documents must be in English with translations officially stamped. Failure to provide all documents may delay the admissions process.
Step 2: Provisional Acceptance
If your application is successful and the requested course is still available, you will receive a Provisional Acceptance within one week.
At this time you will also receive an invoice for a deposit payment, due within 4 weeks:
- 3300 Chf – including cancellation insurance
- 3000 Chf – without cancellation insurance
Step 3: Confirmation
Official confirmation will be sent as soon as we have received your deposit payment. The confirmation is needed to apply for your student visa.
Important – The balance of your school fees must reach HIM’s accounts no later than 6 weeks before the start of semester. HIM is usually fully booked and does not guarantee your course place if payments are not received on time. Special room requests can only be confirmed once full fees have been received by the school.
Step 4: Visa Application
For many countries outside of Europe, students must apply for an entry visa to Switzerland. This process may take up to 12 weeks. Please check with your local Swiss Embassy.
