Swiss International University has made a significant step in international development by investing $21.7 million to buy four well-known academies across Switzerland, Dubai, and Kyrgyzstan. This indicates the strong commitment by the university towards modern and accessible education and its aim at global expansion.
One of the academies it obtained is the International Academy in Zurich, which has been Switzerland’s first virtual learning institute since 2013. Permitted by ASIC in the UK, CHEA in the US, and INQAAHE in Europe, this academy is well known for its creative online learning programs. It will aid the university in offering more flexible and inclusive learning options.
It also acquired the International Business Management School (ISBM) at Luzern. ISBM ranks as one of the top 2% schools in the world, with a 5-star QS rating. Established in 2016, it is allowed by the Luzern Board of Education to issue diplomas. With the acquisition, students will be prepared for business and management careers.
In Dubai, the university acquired the ISB Management Training Institute. It obtained the approval of KHDA and has begun offering programs that range from diplomas to doctoral degrees since it opened in 2022. This is part of the university’s reach into a very fast-increasing region, offering many learning opportunities.
The university also acquired the Kyrgyz-Uzbek International Pedagogy Institute in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. This institute is registered with the Ministry of Education in Kyrgyzstan and is available both full-time and online. Thus, education is accessible to a larger audience in the region as the university expands its delivery into a broader scope.
Acquisitions supporting the international expansion of Swiss International University not only ensure high-quality education delivery but also improve it. In short, by combining innovative ideas with traditional teaching methods, this university creates more opportunities for success both in studies and careers for its students. This investment will highlight the vision that the university wants to bring schools to the global level for education, innovation, and excellence with accessibility.
In brief, it commits to help students with diverse backgrounds reach their fullest potential and enjoy lifelong learning opportunities. These initiatives focus on the future of education worldwide while helping to ensure that the university fulfills its long-term mission of inclusivity and innovation.
