Broad education for a broad horizon
Lucerne is home to an extensive education system, which spans from pre-schools to international schools right up to university studies. Technical schools, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, the University of Lucerne and many other continuing education institutes offer programs in almost any discipline.
In the multi-lingual and federalist structure of Switzerland, the cantons assume the primary responsibility for the education system. The cantons and their municipalities finance 90% of the education expenditures from public funds.
