MSC PRECISION NEURO­REHABILITATION

Applications for LLUI’s MSc in Precision NeuroRehabilitation (PNR) are now open! 

Application deadline to start in Fall 2026: 30. April 2026

The MSc PNR is a three-year, part-time Master’s program combining rehabilitation and neuroscience with engineering and movement science. It enables students to develop interdisciplinary expertise across the entire rehabilitation spectrum—from fundamental neural mechanisms to technology-driven interventions. 

Applications submitted at a later stage may still be considered, depending on the availability of places.

Precision Neurorehabilitation is a field that needs bold, committed professionals to move it forward. The MSc PNR Excellence Scholarship exists to make sure that financial barriers never stand between exceptional talent and that mission.

Who can apply?

Everyone holding a B.Sc. in Health Sciences, Physiotherapy, or an adjacent field can apply for admission to our Master’s program. Admission for those with differing educational backgrounds will be considered on a case-by-case basis (“sur dossier”).
 
The Master’s comprises core courses worth 90 ECTS with an additional 30 ECTS (bridge courses) designed to provide all students with a common understanding of the clinical and academic aspects of neurorehabilitation, regardless of their background.
Individual evaluation of your background and degree record will be conducted to plan the bridge courses that you may be required to undertake. This approach aims to level applicants’ initial knowledge across differing fields and academic backgrounds.
 
We would like to remind international students to check any applicable Visa requirements for Switzerland ahead of time. 

ACCREDITATION STATUS

The Lake Lucerne Institute aims at national institutional accreditation by the national authorities. The accreditation process is comprehensive and might take several years to complete. Upon successful completion, any degree issued by the Institute before accreditation will be recognised as a University level degree by Swiss and European Standards. Regarding international acceptance, recognition depends on national education policies, which vary and fall outside our scope of influence.
