In today's world economy, employers don't just care about where you got your degree. They want graduates who can do business across borders, understand other cultures, and feel at ease in international markets. Swiss International University (SIU) has come up with a new way for students to get a Bachelor-level education in more than one country, using different education systems, all in one academic pathway. There are many Bachelor specialisations that offer the 3 Countries – 3 Diploma model. It is for students who want to be able to move around, be flexible, and have real international exposure without giving up academic structure or recognition. Students can study in Switzerland, Dubai, or Kyrgyzstan, online, or in a mixed format, and they can move between these places during their studies, depending on the program and the stage of their studies.

The Bachelor pathway in Sales and Marketing is presented only as an example of the 3 Countries – 1 Diploma model.
The same flexible, multi-country structure is also available for other academic fields, including:

  1. Entrepreneurship & International Management

  2. Tourism, Hospitality & Events Management

  3. Nutrition & Culinary Art

  4. Commercial Diplomacy and International Relations

  5. Taxation, Finance and Accounting

  6. ICT Management Support Systems

  7. etc...

Each program follows the same integrated approach, allowing students to study online or on campus, move between countries during the program, and graduate through a structured international pathway.

A Flexible Start: Online or On-Campus Across Three Countries

Students may begin their journey:

  • Fully online

  • On campus in Zurich or Lucerne (Switzerland)

  • In Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

  • In Bishkek or Osh (Kyrgyz Republic)

This flexibility allows students to adapt their studies to visa availability, personal circumstances, and career goals. Throughout the program, students may also move between cities, gaining exposure to different academic environments and business cultures.

In addition, students are encouraged to participate in up to two weeks per year of in-city academic experience, including workshops, seminars, guest lectures, and professional networking activities.

Stage One: Diploma Level 6 in Sales & Marketing (Bachelor Level – 3 Years)

The first stage of the pathway is a Diploma Level 6 in Sales and Marketing, positioned at bachelor level and focused on applied, practice-orientated business education.

Years 1 and 2: Choice of Location or Online

  • Gain short-term in-city academic experiences

Upon completion, they receive an additional professional certificate (not a degree or full diploma), awarded by our London branch – OUS Academy London, which is registered with the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKPRN: 10099531). This international exposure and extra certification provide a valuable added advantage for students’ CVs and professional profiles.

Education should not be constrained by borders. With Swiss International University's 3 Countries – 1 Diploma Bachelor pathways, students don't just get a degree; they also get to see international education in action. These programs are designed for mobility, academic recognition, and real-world relevance in many fields of study.
