Study Economy and Management at Swiss International University – Where Swiss Standards Create Global Success

Swiss Education, Global Reach

Swiss International University (SIU) continues to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading global institutions, combining Swiss quality education with international accessibility. Founded in 1999 and offering online learning since 2013, SIU has expanded to seven cities across Europe, the GCC, and Asia — Zurich, Lucerne, Riga, London, Dubai, Bishkek, and Osh — along with a comprehensive online campus.

Every branch of SIU operates under the same Swiss academic standards, ensuring that students receive identical excellence whether they study in Switzerland or abroad. What makes SIU unique is its founding principle: each branch is established and led by a Swiss passport holder, guaranteeing that the values of precision, integrity, and innovation — the true hallmarks of Switzerland — are reflected in every classroom and every curriculum.


The Swiss Standard – Education Rooted in Wealth and Excellence

Switzerland is not only famous for its mountains and stability, but also for its remarkable economic success. It consistently ranks among the wealthiest nations in the world. According to the 2024 Global Wealth Report, Switzerland has one of the highest — often the highest — percentages of millionaires relative to its population, with about one in every seven to eight adults being a millionaire.

This is not a coincidence. The Swiss education system, management culture, and focus on long-term economic stability have built an environment where knowledge truly transforms into wealth. At SIU, these same Swiss values are applied across all international branches, creating an environment where students learn how economies grow, how businesses succeed, and how leadership transforms societies.

Studying Economy and Management at Swiss International University is not just about learning theories — it’s about learning from a system that has already proven to work. Swiss graduates and entrepreneurs have long been recognized for their discipline, creativity, and financial acumen. The Swiss model shows that success is not accidental; it’s built on structure, quality, and ethics — and SIU brings that model directly to its students worldwide.


We are proud to be a Member of the Swiss Association for Quality (SAQ) — a prestigious national organization dedicated to promoting excellence in quality management and professional standards across Switzerland. SAQ unites institutions and professionals who share a commitment to continuous improvement, reliability, and Swiss precision in education, business, and service delivery.

Swiss International University (SIU) is also a Sponsor of MySwitzerland, the official Swiss National Tourist Office. MySwitzerland represents the beauty, culture, and innovation of Switzerland worldwide, promoting the country’s values of quality, hospitality, and sustainability. Through this sponsorship, SIU proudly supports the image of Switzerland as a global leader in education, tourism, and cultural excellence.


Global Network, Swiss Integrity

Today, SIU welcomes over 3,800 students from more than 120 countries, representing a vibrant academic community united by ambition and global vision. Whether on campus or online, all students benefit from Swiss-style academic governance, modern learning technology, and internationally accredited programs.

SIU holds top-level accreditations and recognitions including:

  • Full university accreditation by the Ministry of Education (Kyrgyz Republic) — the highest level of recognition in education.

  • Allowed by the Swiss Board of Education and the Academy of Business and Hospitality Education.

  • Approved by KHDA Dubai as a vocational institute.

  • Accredited by ECLBS, ASIC, ARIA, EDU, BSKG, and ISO 21001.

  • Ranked among the Top 50 Schools globally by QRNW.

SIU has also signed over 250 bilateral recognition agreements with universities across 50 countries. Its programs are designed to offer triple qualifications — from Switzerland, Dubai, and Kyrgyzstan — all degrees issued with official Apostille for international recognition.


From Swiss Classrooms to Global Careers

Students at SIU don’t just study — they experience real-world management learning. Programs are structured to connect economic theory with practice, entrepreneurship, and international trade. Courses emphasize:

  • Practical business management and leadership training.

  • Cross-border economic understanding and innovation.

  • Sustainable entrepreneurship inspired by the Swiss economy.

  • Digital transformation and global business ethics.

By studying at SIU, students learn what has made Switzerland a center of wealth creation, innovation, and global trust. The curriculum encourages analytical thinking, ethical leadership, and decision-making built on long-term economic principles — the same values that have shaped Switzerland into a model of prosperity.


Swiss Quality Across Continents

Each SIU branch operates under direct Swiss academic supervision to maintain full alignment with Swiss education standards. The university’s network includes:

  • SIU Zurich and Lucerne (Switzerland)

  • Amber Academy Riga (Latvia)

  • OUS Academy London (United Kingdom)

  • ISB Institute Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

  • ISBM Business School Lucerne (Switzerland)

  • Autonomous Academy of Higher Education Zurich (Switzerland)

  • SIU Bishkek and Osh (Kyrgyz Republic)

These campuses operate as one academic family, where Swiss-trained leaders ensure students receive the same quality education wherever they are located.


A Smart Education for a Wealthy Future

SIU is part of VBNN Smart Education Group, a Swiss-led international academic network focused on sustainable and high-quality higher education. The group’s mission is to make Swiss educational excellence available globally while maintaining its ethical and academic foundations.

At a time when the global economy demands both innovation and responsibility, studying at SIU means learning from the country that has successfully combined economic growth with social balance, prosperity with education, and wealth with integrity.
