Terms of the contract
As soon as your application documents have been transmitted, you will get a confirmation of receipt. The head of programme decides on your admission to the programme. They reserve the right to invite you in for an interview before confirming your admission. Please refer to the programme website for the application deadline; later applications may be accepted in exceptional cases.
If the number of applications exceeds the number of places available, the head of programme may defer individual applications. Applications are considered by order of submission. In certain continuing and executive education programmes, applications are also considered with a view to creating a well-balanced group of participants. The ultimate decision rests with the head of programme.
If an insufficient number of participants enrol for a course, the head of programme has the right to postpone or cancel the continuing or executive education programme. Participants who are already enrolled will be informed as quickly as possible in that case.
Terms of payment and conditions
Information about the date of invoicing is available in the online registration process for the respective programme, under “important information” and “declaration of consent”. To facilitate the financing of your course, we offer the option to pay in instalments. For details, please get in touch with the organiser of the respective programme.
Withdrawal from and early termination of the continuing or executive education programme
Information about the financial implication of a withdrawal or early termination of a course is available in the online registration process for the respective programme, under “important information” and “declaration of consent”. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts recommends that you take out cancellation insurance.
Digital instruction

Written materials, videos and other school material shared on the ILIAS learning platform and shown in web meetings shall not be passed on to third parties. Web meetings shall not be recorded without the express consent of all participants.
Theft insurance (property insurance - electronic equipment)
The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and its Schools provide no insurance coverage for the damage, destruction or loss of electronic equipment (e.g., laptops, digital cameras, storage devices or similar) owned by participants. It is therefore the participants’ responsibility to take out insurance for this kind of occurrence.
Liability insurance
Students undertake to comply with the internal order, health and safety regulations of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Participants are responsible for taking out liability insurance. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts accepts no liability of any kind.
Data protection guidelines
